Sonic and Caliburn join the hunt in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate

gaming-sonic-the-hedgehog-monster-hunter-02There’s no denying that Capcom’s Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate has taken the world by storm on 3DS. Placing you in the shoes of a brave hunter, you seek out huge creatures and pit yourself against them, learning their ways and finding the best method to slay each beast. With critical acclaim and commercial success behind it, what more could this game possibly need? Well, Sonic the Hedgehog, of course!

Released today as free downloadable content, you can now access an additional mission called “Super Sonic Seregios” – emerge victorious and you will be able to craft special Sonic themed gear for your Palicoes, including Caliburn from Sonic and the Black Knight.

There’s plenty of other crossovers in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate – The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario, to name but a couple – but this is definitely one of the coolest looking ones so far. With this and the Sonic Amiibo suit coming to Mario Kart 8, April is set to be filled with bonus Sonic content for Nintendo games!

If you own Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, will you be taking on the DLC and equipping your Palicoes with Sonic and Caliburn? What other Sonic crossovers would you like to see? Let us know in the comments!

  1. This isn’t real.
    It can’t be real.
    It’s… a late April Fools joke! Yeah!
    Unless…

    1. Yeah I was surprised that Monster Hunter would go for Black Knight DLC. I’m not surprised to see Sonic then again a fan once stated that Black Knight looked like the Sonic characters were cosplaying as Monster Hunter (I got more of a WoW vibe from it but whatever).

  2. I didn’t think the Sonic-thing was cute until it started bouncing around. )^v^) Now I want one.

  3. This turned out way cooler than expected, I was hoping they’d have a Piko Hammer for the palicoe’s blunt weapon.
