In a thrilling move set to captivate avid gamers, Plarium’s acclaimed mobile game RAID: Shadow Legends has unveiled an exclusive collaboration with Capcom’s Monster Hunter franchise. This limited-time crossover, extending from January 9 to March 5, introduces five new Legendary Champions to the ever-expanding realm of Teleria.
Since its initial launch in early 2019, RAID: Shadow Legends has transformed into a global phenomenon, garnering a staggering 75 million downloads and surpassing the $1 billion revenue mark. The game’s success has been attributed to strategic YouTube sponsorships and an enthralling gameplay experience. Following its mobile triumph, the RPG made its debut on PC and macOS in January 2020, with Plarium consistently delivering fresh content updates to all versions.
The latest update, a result of the collaboration with Capcom, introduces five unique Legendary Champions to the game. These champions, equipped with distinctive weapons and armour crafted from iconic Monster Hunter creatures such as Zinogre, Fatalis, and Rathalos, elevate the gaming experience to new heights. Notably, the Rathalos Blademaster Champion is accessible for free to players who log in for seven consecutive days during the event.
What sets these new characters apart is not merely their appearance but their dynamic combat abilities. Plarium assures players that the champions’ weapons and armour provide skills that closely mirror the iconic abilities seen in the Monster Hunter franchise. The collaboration was a joint effort, with Capcom actively contributing to the design of the crossover content to ensure a seamless blend of both gaming universes.
Beyond the addition of these formidable champions, the collaboration offers a host of themed in-game activities to engage players. Plarium is set to release multiple trailers throughout the event, unravelling the lore behind RAID: Shadow Legends and providing an immersive in-universe explanation for the presence of Monster Hunter creatures in Teleria.
As fans eagerly await the unveiling of this captivating collaboration, it’s worth noting that the Monster Hunter crossover coincides with the conclusion of another. Capcom recently announced the conclusion of the Monster Hunter Rise collaboration with Universal Studios Japan and Sega’s Sonic the Hedgehog on January 21. Players keen on preserving this unique content are encouraged to claim it before the deadline, ensuring its indefinite availability.
The RAID: Shadow Legends and Monster Hunter collaboration marks a significant stride in the game’s commitment to delivering fresh and engaging content. With the introduction of Legendary Champions and a narrative-rich experience, players can immerse themselves in the amalgamation of two gaming giants, eagerly exploring the depths of Teleria in this limited-time event. As the countdown begins, enthusiasts brace themselves for an unforgettable journey through a world where Monster Hunter meets RAID: Shadow Legends.
