After the successful release of "Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition" earlier this month, Capcom, the developer of the "Street Fighter" video game series, announced the release of another game: "Monster Hunt: World." What's more exciting for fans of both games is the news about the crossover of the costumes of "Monster Hunt" characters Rathalos, Zinogre, and Kirin to "Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition" characters Ken, R. Mika, and Ibuki.

Capcom announced on Jan. 24 that the three skins inspired by the "Monster Hunt" characters will be available for players of "Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition" to earn for free in the Extra Battle Mode.

These costumes will be earned in the same way players earn armors in "Monster Hunt," by forging different sets of armors obtained from monsters that they have slain. In this case, however, instead of fighting different monsters, "Street Fighter" players will have to compete for four fights over the course of four weeks in order to obtain a clothing set inspired by the "Monster Hunt" characters.

According to Capcom, to vie for the outfits in the Extra Battle Mode, players will have to "complete four challenges that take place over the span of one month — one challenge per week." An Extra Battle costume of the month is given to players who are able to complete the four challenges.

To be able to compete for the outfits, players will have to spend 2,500 Fight Money for each attempt. If players are able to complete the challenges in one go every week, players will get the Extra Battle attire for 10,000 Fight Money. The challenges are time exclusive so players must accomplish them within the limited time the costumes are offered.

To fight for "Monster Hunt" Rathalos' getup for "Street Fighter" Ken, players must complete the challenges from Feb. 27 to March 29. For "Monster Hunt" Zinogre's suit for "Street Fighter" R. Mika, on the other hand, players must finish the same from March 8 to April 5. As for "Monster Hunt" Kirin's costume for "Street Fighter" Ibuki, players must accomplish the tests from March 15 to April 12.
