Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is jam-packed with collaborations with other franchises. Recently, SEGA announced that the game would see a crossover with Sonic the Hedgehog. Players will be able to dress felynes in Sonic armor, and there’s also a guild card based on the Green Hill Zone.

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate producer Ryozo Tsujimoto explained to Siliconera how the collaboration with SEGA came to be. He said:

“There are actually a few people at Sega that we’re pretty close to. We were chatting and thinking if there was something we could do together—some kind of collaboration. Then we settled on Sonic, ultimately, because he’s not only popular here in Japan, he’s also extremely popular overseas.”

“Since we’re doing an overseas version of this game, it made sense to do some sort of collaborative crossover that would make sense globally. So I had an associate of mine at Sega introduce me to the person in charge [of licensing]. We shook hands, made the deal, and there you go.”

The latest issue of Shonen Sunday magazine has revealed a new collaboration with Shinobu Ohtaka’s Magi manga and anime adaptation. Players will be able to equip themselves with Aladdin’s staff in addition to Alibaba’s sword Amon (available as a broad sword). Capcom will also be including collaboration quests that provide the title of “Magic” and a Magi-themed guild card.
