Sonic Frontierscomes out in less than a month, and fans already have some specialMonster Huntercrossover DLC to look forward to. Fans will be able to battle the huge and intimidating Titan bosses dressed fittingly like aMonster Hunterprotagonist as they once again help Sonic save the world from theevil Dr. Eggman and his latest schemegone wrong.
This isn’t the first DLC announcement forSonic Frontiers, however, it looks to be the biggest DLC bundle for the game yet. Fans became aware that Sonic’s latest adventure would offer some downloadable content when exclusive pre-order bundles in Japan came with different DLC depending on where the order was placed.

Once fans claim theMonster HunterDLC, they’ll gain two sets of Rathalos armor that Sonic can wear, as well as special animations that see Sonic cooking meat on a skewer, much like players would inMonster Hunteritself. According to the announcement from the officialMonster HunterTwitter page, the cosmetic items also come with a mini-game of some kind. There isn’t much information about this mini-game known just yet, but there’s a chance it may be something as small as the little “mini-game” fans play with cooking the meat on the skewer with the right timing.
Sega and Capcom seem to have a good relationship between them as this isn’t at all the first time theSonicseries has collaborated withMonster Hunter. This marks the third crossover between both franchises, withSoniccosmetics appearing inMonster Hunter RiseandMonster Hunter 4 Ultimate.
However, depending on the size of the mini-game, there’s an argument to be made that features like that shouldn’t be locked behind DLC. TheMonster HunterDLC forSonic Frontiersmay launch as early as November 14, but it might not be available forever. Collaborations like these tend to exist through licenses between companies that can expire, which has been seen withcrossover missions inMonster Hunter World: Icebornebeing removedfor that reason. Thankfully, this usually takes years, so the new DLC might be around for quite some time.
Sonic Frontierswill launch on November 8 for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. TheMonster HunterDLC will go live on November 14.
