Monster Hunter: World patch updates 1.03 (PS4) and 1.0.0.8 (Xbox One) are now live; patch notes available below.
Major changes for Xbox One:
Fixed all matchmaking functionality issues for Xbox One players, including “Matchmake”, “Filter Search”, “Squad Sessions Session” and “Respond to SOS”.
Major changes for PS4 and Xbox One:
Fixed a rare issue with gathering points and bounties not working correctly; points counter were not updating correctly.
Fixed two issues with the Hunting Horn:
Players would sometimes be unable to dodge-cancel while playing an Encore;
The initial shockwave blast when playing a song sometimes wouldn’t happen.
Also be sure to read notes on previous update on Capcom-Unity .
::UPDATE::
We have noticed some hunters are still experiencing matchmaking issues on the Xbox One version of the game. Our development team is currently investigating these issues; we’ll update you as soon as possible.
“So how do I get these Street Fighter outfits in my Monster Hunter?” you ask. Well, here’s how:
First up: a quick reminder these are full sets of armor that have to be equipped as one single entry and cannot be mixed with other armor pieces. However, these full armor sets can be equipped by both male and female hunters, even changing their voices to match either Ryu’s or Sakura’s.
From February 15th (4pm PST) until March 1st (4pm PST), we’ll be featuring the quest to get Ryu’s set as an exclusive early opportunity to PS4 players that also have a save data file from Street Fighter V (including Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition ).
Hunters with that save data will receive a special quest called “Down the Dark, Muddy Path.” After claiming the quest at the Housekeeper , it’ll be available under the Challenge Quests menu from the Arena Lass at the Gathering Hub .
From there, just channel your fighting spirit, complete that quest and you’ll get “SFV Tickets” as the special reward item. Bring that, along with other necessary materials, to the Smithy and you got yourself a Ryu armor set!
Hunters on PS4 that don’t have SFV save data (and hunters on Xbox One) won’t have to wait much longer, however, as the Event Quest will go back in rotation for all players at a later date. The exact timing is still to be announced, but during this time, everyone will be able to fight for their Ryu set.
And not long after that, two new Event Quests will be added to the rotation for all players (PS4 and Xbox One) and completing them will get you new “SFV Tickets,” so you can craft the Ryu and Sakura sets. By the way, check out these sets in action here:
“Oh wait a minute! How do I get THOSE ?!” you might also ask, while pointing at the Hadouken and Shoryuken on screen.
These sweet, iconic premium gestures, along with Chat Stamp sets, will be available for purchase for everyone on the PlayStation Store and Xbox Marketplace. Pricing of the extra content breakdown below:
Gesture: Street Fighter V Hadoken – $3.99 Gesture: Street Fighter V Shoryuken – $3.99 Stamp Set: Street Fighter V Set – $1.99
But this is not the end of the SF x MH tie-in. Street Fighter V players have some special Monster Hunter content to look forward to (and fight hard for) in their game too! Check out this month’s SFV:AE Extra Battle blog for more details on how to get Rathalos armor for Ken, Zinogre armor for R. Mika and Kirin armor for Ibuki.
Best of luck to all the hunters and fighters out there!
“Sisters and brothers of the Fifth Fleet, it’s time.” Monster Hunter: World is finally here! So get your hunting gear ready and set out to brave the dangers of the New World.
But first, some housekeeping; here is some essential info you’ll need for the journey ahead:
Version 1.01 (Day 1 Patch)
This hefty Day 1 patch (approximately 815 MB) includes the access key to the online server, additional languages, a cutscene gallery and every hunter’s favorite pet: the Poogie!
Online and additional systems
Multiplayer
Event quests
Chat functionality
Ability to claim rewards from the Housekeeper in your room
Gallery Mode added to title menu
Additional text languages NOTE: Additional text languages vary by region; all versions feature voice and text in Japanese, English, French, Italian, Spanish and German.
North America, South America: Brazilian Portuguese
Version 1.02 (PS4) / Version 1.0.0.7 (Xbox One) (Hot Fix)

Bug Fixes

Poogie!
Hunting monsters is hard work and, sometimes, hunters need to unwind. Petting an adorable Poogie is the perfect way to get your mind off those razor-sharp Anjanath fangs that closed on you just moments ago. Pet it (the Poogie, not the Anjanath) the right way and it’ll eventually start warming up to you, even letting you pick it up and take it all over Astera! You might even be rewarded for your kindness…

Monster Hunter fans, gather around, and join the quest for the Rathalos, Zinogre, and Kirin Armor Crossover Costumes for Ken, R. Mika, and Ibuki in Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition !
In the world of Monster Hunter, players forge different sets of armor from colossal monsters they slay during their journey; Rathalos, Zinogre, and Kirin are just a few of these fearsome foes. These three Crossover Costumes are inspired by their respective armor sets and will be obtainable in the SFV: AE Extra Battle Mode, starting next month!
HOW DOES EXTRA BATTLE MODE WORK?
Every month, there will be at least one unique costume like a Crossover Costume up for grabs, which can only be obtained by playing Extra Battle Mode with Fight Money. Here’s the flow of how to go about getting these costumes:
Each costume requires you to complete four challenges that take place over the span of a month – one challenge per week.
Each time you attempt one of these challenges, you must spend 2,500 Fight Money. In other words, if you successfully complete each of the weekly challenges in one go, you can get that Extra Battle Costume for 10,000 FM!
Once you complete all four challenges, the costume for that month is yours!
These challenges are time exclusive, so make sure to log in each week to complete them, especially if you have your eyes on that month’s unique costume.
Kirin is an Elder Dragon who is normally peaceful, but will not hesitate to strike his foes with lightning or use his sharp horn to defend himself. Though Ibuki does not have any lightning abilities, her agility and lightning-fast reflexes embody how Kirin fights, making her a fitting character for the Kirin Armor Crossover Costume.

Zinogre is a wyvern with canine features, including sharp fangs and claws. He can charge himself up to unleash electrical attacks that leaves hunters more susceptible to being stunned. R. Mika’s V-Skill, Mic Performance, is a prime example of charging up to execute a devastating attack, which makes her suitable for the Zinogre Armor Crossover Costume.

In the Monster Hunter series, Rathalos is a flying wyvern who hunts from the skies by surprising his prey. He utilizes his poisonous talons, fiery projectiles, and clubbed tail to attack any creature foolish enough to step into his territory. As a fighter who utilizes fire in his move set, Ken is the perfect character to don the Rathalos Armor Crossover Costume.

Please note that dates and times for these Extra Battle Challenges may shift unexpectedly.
Once you get each icon, you can attempt the challenge again to obtain bonus rewards that will be listed once these Extra Battle Challenges start. You can continue earning bonus rewards as many times as you’d like granted the entrance fee is paid.
As you can see, all three of these Extra Battle Challenge sets overlap, meaning you’ll need to be on your toes to complete them. Form a plan and execute, just like how hunters prepare to fight monsters in Monster Hunter: World, available on 1/26 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One!
STREET FIGHTER IN MONSTER HUNTER

Patrick Kulikowski: Memes erupt in the most peculiar of ways, if the latest craze over an old 1996 The Simpsons’ episode is anything to go by.
For the uninitiated, users have recently re-introduced a classic scene from the long-running series lovingly known as the “Steamed Hams” scene and have created their own unique takes on the scene.
To summarize, the skit involves Principal Skinner covering up his failed attempt at cooking dinner for his guest, Super Ninten—ah, I mean, Superintendent Chalmers. The lies Skinner comes up with get more and more ridiculous by the second, and Chalmers begins pointing out his contradictions on the spot.
Wait a second, pointing out contradictions on the fly? Sounds a little like a certain classic lawyer game series! Enter YouTube user iKiwed , who remixed the scene to be a little more akin to Ace Attorney, complete with appropriate text blips and music! Give it a watch, below. I was cackling the whole time!

STICKY NOTE: Did you make something cool? Send us a note or drop a comment below; we would love to feature your work here! Same goes for any awesome stuff you may see in the wild; we always welcome more fantastic fan work. =)
Off the big screen of Movieland and onto the small screen of your mobile device comes Viewtiful Joe, the classic Capcom character who today joins the ranks of Puzzle Fighter ’s elite brawlers.
As our first new contestant of 2018 Viewtiful Joe looks to take on his opponents with his Shocking Pink attack and use his Voomerang ability to take down his foe! Joe is our first “double chain character”.This means that 2 of his 3 skills require the completion of chains to activate. This brings a unique twist to the game, and will allow players to mix-up their playstyles.
So Henshin-a-go-go and add this Red Affinity fighter to your Puzzle Fighter roster today! To play Puzzle Fighter free on iOS or Android visit: http:// bit.ly/PuzzleFighter

Who is Viewtiful Joe? Hailing from the Capcom game Viewtiful Joe (2003), the titular character is a movie fan who goes on a quest to rescue his girlfriend Silvia in the cinematic world of Movieland. Viewtiful Joe is a side-scrolling beat ‘em up action game where Joe utilizes “VFX Power” to alter the scenes and episodes he finds himself in. A sequel, Viewtiful Joe 2 (2004), was also released and featured similar gameplay with improved elements and a continued story. Viewtiful Joe has appeared in multiple fighting games since his inception into the world of Capcom. Now, he solidifies his place in Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition!
THE ETERNAL GODDESS DESCENDS
Also coming on January 16 is this Ingrid Costume for Karin! Unlike the Viewtiful Joe Crossover Costume, this one is not a reward in Extra Battle Mode. Instead, it will become available for immediate purchase on PlayStation 4 and Steam.
Ingrid made her first appearance in Capcom Fighting Evolution (2004), which had a cast comprised of characters from the Street Fighter series , the Darkstalkers series, and Red Earth. As an original character for the series, Ingrid was a mysterious force whose motives were unknown. She was then added to the Street Fighter Alpha 3 MAX roster where her true power is revealed.
Once the next Crossover Costume is up for grabs in February, we’ll be sure to publish another schedule here on Capcom Unity and on our social channels, so like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter to stay up to date!
Don’t forget that the Season 3 Character Pass is available for purchase on January 16! If you purchase it from January 16 to January 30, you’ll receive the nine 30 th Anniversary and Nostalgia Costumes pictured below. You’ll also receive the same nine costumes if you purchase the digital version of Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition during the same time frame! These promotions are only available in the Americas and Asia (not Japan). European promotions will be different. Please see relevant European retailers on the day of launch.

Super MAGFest 2018 , a personal favorite annual event of mine, transpired from January 4 – 7, 2018 at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland. Each year this festival brings in game and music fans from all over the world to celebrate their passion in a number of ways. A key part of that is through the ridiculously fun music concerts that go on throughout the course of the day.
Given Capcom’s sterling track record of memorable, high quality music, naturally there was a ton of sweet tunes from our games performed on-stage by a number of bands. Here’s a breakdown of the music performed, complete with links to the performance videos!
And of course, a huge round of applause to all these bands for covering everything from iconic hits, like “Dr. Wily Stage 1” from Mega Man 2, to surprisingly deep cuts like the third planet theme from Street Fighter 2010 !
“Mega Man X2 – Charge Shot” – Mega Man X2 medley that includes Opening Stage”, “Magna Centipede Stage,” “Flame Stag Stage,” and “X Hunter Stage 1”, composed by Yuki Iwai – 0:00

Oh, you thought I was done? Think again! There was also some incredible cosplay at MAGFest, including a wonderful quartet of Chun-Li cosplayers, Vega and Zangief duking it out, a whole cadre of Street Fighter poses, and Proto Man x “Mega Woman” (all pictured below).
The 6 th annual Mega Man-athonrun by our friends at Half-Empty E-Tank also took place during the festivities. Over the course of 72 hours of non-stop Mega Man games and performances, they managed to raise $7,072 for Child’s Play charity!
