You may have grown tired of us saying that Monster Hunter Rise is darn good, but it is, and Capcom has also been serving up regular free updates to keep it fresh. Pleasingly this has had a few quirky DLC crossovers just like in the old days, with the next in line being the return of Sonic the Hedgehog (and Tails).
Capcom has now confirmed that this will arrive in a free update on 26th November, and treated us to a delightfully over the top trailer. As with other collaborations it'll make use of layered armor for you and your buddies to give a feel of having Sonic and Tails on your game, albeit without any particularly wild gameplay changes. We're not sure where the rings come into it in the trailer, but either way we'll have unlockable outfits via an Event Quest.
It's not long until we can look even sillier while schooling some giant monsters - let us know in the comments if you're planning to give the game another spin for these Sonic goodies.

I love these weird additions to the game. Can't wait to sing along to the song as well xD
This is great! The worst part about MH becoming a large franchise is that the visible part of the "fan" community now mostly consists of whiny "gamers" who expect Monster Hunter to be like Fortnite with new significant updates every week.
Missed opportunity: Monster Hunter Rise & Knuckles
Is Sonic the monster, the hunter or the ring bearer?
This Collab is Just, Damn, I'm rocking that Sonic Palico 100%, and the sonic clothing!
This is actually pretty cool!
That's really cool, I hope we'll get a Pokémon or Zelda collab in the future too
Sonic strikes again.
Was expecting to hear “Sonic Boom” song, but maybe I’m dating myself
I hate how much I love this crossover.
I really want to get back into Rise before I feel hopelessly left behind! I was just a beginner when I fell off, and never once tried to play online coop.
So far I’ve missed the Ōkami, Mega Man and Ghost & Goblins crossovers, and now this Sonic content looks fun as well.
Backlog guilt is building… 😣
This is the best collaboration yet! I love that we can get layered armor for the Hunter, Palico, and Palamute instead of just one of them like in the other collabs.
I hope we'll get even more fun collabs like this in Sunbreak.
As one that keeps staying into MHR at least weekly for a good hunt, I want to say hats off to Capcom for keeping the content coming. I love how they are not shelving this game after they made their money. Based upon MHR and Stories 2 sales I am looking forward to Nintendo making MH more of a permanent seat at the gaming-cycle table.
MHGU player here, waitin for a discount on Rise haha! I have a question: these events are time-gated or stays in the game like in GU? And we need a Metroid crossover ASAP, with the new armor from Dread
@Jemusu Strange? This isn't the Monster Hunter's first collab. They did it in MH4U as well.
@Dinizz_2d all the events stay permanently
@Jemusu not really. MH always has these types of collars. If anything it’s normal.
HUGE Sonic fan here. I bought the Genesis controller for Nintendo Switch Online just so I could play Sonic 2 with a proper controller just like back in my youth! I might have to actually give in and buy Monster Hunter Rise and try to learn the controls (because I did terribly with the demo). Kind of wish this was also coming to Monster Hunter Stories 2 since that's the only MH game I currently have. Maybe MHR will go on sale for the holidays.
so capcom is doing sonic better than sega.. good job cap, now, how's about more of my boi <--
@Strumpan Agree. As a long time fan, I started seeing those types of "fans" since World, expecting a huge update and like the seasonal events.
@Teksetter
I was in the exact same position you were in with MH Rise, had yet to try any online hub quests , pretty much was soloing the whole game. Give the online hub a try…it’s got me back into the game and my HR is rising steadily. Still haven’t even made it yo the updated content yet but the game really opens up when you’re hunting with others. Great game!
The kulu yaku is an egg man
and I'd say Nargacuga is a kind of Shadow
I love this series
@Jimmy_G_Buckets Thanks! MHR needs a discount on this Black Friday!
