Monster Hunter World News: Capcom actively 'looking out for other collaborative partners'

Monster Hunter World's first collaborative content - featuring gear from Aloy in Horizon Zero Dawn - is live with the launch of the game, but that's not the end of Capcom's cross-brand plans.

The developer is keen on crossing over with other properties: previously, we've seen Final Fantasy gear in the series, as well as Street Fighter, Sonic the Hedgehog and Mario make an appearance in the game.

It seems with World's release, we're to expect even more guest appearances in the game, too.

In an interview with Daily Star Online, producer Ryozo Tsujimoto explained the company is still actively looking for collaborations in the game.

"We’re looking out for other partners to work with, for sure," Tsujimoto said in our interview.

"[World] isn’t something we can just make on our own. It was great working with Guerilla Games and making the Aloy outfit, so we’re definitely looking out for more collaborators.

"It depends who we can get on board. We’ll announce anything as soon as we have news."

This follows an interview we conducted with Monster Hunter World producer Ryozo Tsujimoto.

A veteran of the series, Tsujimoto sat down with Daily Star Online to talk about the differences in producing this game versus previous entries in the series, as well as his hopes for the title in the West.

He explains what fans will gain by being able to sit down with the game in their own homes versus playing on smaller consoles, the different tactics the development team has had to look into when making the game this time around, and the team's thinking behind a simultaneous worldwide launch (the first time the series has seen such a thing).

This comes as Capcom opened a Monster Hunter-themed meat shack in London in celebration of the new title's launch.

From Thursday 25th through to Sunday 28th January, at Flat Iron Square, London Bridge, video game company Capcom will be hosting a free immersive dining experience, the Monster Hunter Meat Shack, to celebrate the launch of its new game.

Flat Iron Square will be offering a plethora of outrageously sized mouth-watering BBQ dishes to celebrate the launch of Capcom’s new game.

The Monster Hunter Meat Shack features a supersize barbeque at a huge 2.5m high, from which guests can enjoy a feast of meats as they are transported into the world of Monster Hunter.

Against a backdrop of forestry and mysterious hunting maps, diners can get hands-on with the new game whilst tucking into a ginormous burger or meat platter of monstrous proportions.
