Monster Hunter Worldis the game that keeps on giving. After release, it received acres upon acres of post-launch content.Devil May Cry-themed quests,Mega Manquests,Street Fighterquests. Heck, even non-Capcom games wanted a piece–we’ve seen theWitcherandFinal Fantasycrossover intoWorld. That wasn’t all, though. Capcom recently pushed out anincredible and incredibly dense expansion withIceborne, and today, they’re throwing another one of their flagship franchises into the mix.Resident Evil 2is coming toIceborne, and it’ll be there in November.
The big news, obviously, regards the Claire Redfield and Leon Kennedy costumes. They seem pretty out-of-place inWorld, but that’s the point.Monster Hunter Worldhas such a unique and weird sense of humor, and the anachronistic absurdity of seeing a police officer fighting an elder dragon is positively wacky. Video games, you know? Where the impossible becomes possible.
Claire sports a unique Long Sword, and Leon totes around a special Heavy Bowgun. Like previous crossover weapons, there seems to be equipped with unique characteristics and animations. For instance, Leon pops off on Odagoron with a machine gun-like flurry that is not stock HBG behavior. It’s awesome.
The real treat of this video the new handler costume. It’s a Tyrant skin. That’s right, Mr. X from theResident Evil 2remake will be cooking your food and handling your quest log. Brilliant. I literally laughed out loud at the goofy facial animations he makes in this video. Again–the crossover here may not make much sense, but I love it.
The video also showcases new zombie make-up and a zombie dance animation. Yep–you’re able to now pretend you’re in the “Thriller” video with your friends.
What more needs to be said?Monster Hunter Worldis clearly the best game of all time. It’s available now on Xbox One, PS4, and PC. TheIceborneexpansion is out now for Xbox and PlayStation, and thisResident Evilcontent will arrive in November. PC users, unfortunately, will have to wait tillJanuary forIceborne. Hopefully, theResident Evilcrossover content will be present at that time.
