Leon and Claire are back at it in a different kind of universe because Resident Evil has officially invaded Monster Hunter: World. The team over at Capcom is definitely no stranger to crossovers. With franchises like The Witcher, Horizon Zero Dawn, and even Mega Man invading the expansive world of the latest Monster Hunter, players knew that the studio wasn’t done yet with all of their surprises.
Previously, console players were able to take on the foes of Monster Hunter World in a different way with the Resident Evil crossover but PC players were left out in the dust. At least up until this point.
Leon and Claire have definitely upped their monster-hunting game. Goodbye Mr. X and the run-of-the-mill zombies, now there is a whole new level of game for them to take on. While The Witcher was a shock to Monster Hunter World players, Resident Evil is a pretty big surprise as well though it does make sense with the recent reveal of Project Resistance.
Oh, and speaking of Mr. X, he’s here too – because naturally.
While we don’t have an exact release date for when the Resident Evil crossover will come to Monster Hunter World, we do at least know it’s slated for a launch this month. With the Rajang update going live on February 6th, it stands to reason that the latest crossover event will follow soon after.
