In a spectacular blend of gaming titans, Plarium incorporates the Monster Hunter™ legacy into RAID: Shadow Legends, creating an epic crossover with new legendary champions for players to acquire.
In a groundbreaking move for mobile and PC gaming fans, Plarium, a global leader in free-to-play games, has embarked on a thrilling collaboration with Capcom, infusing the essence of the legendary Monster Hunter™ series into their dark fantasy collection RPG, RAID: Shadow Legends.
Spanning from January 9 to March 5, 2024, this unique collaboration introduces five new Legendary Champions into the world of RAID. Each Champion comes adorned with exclusive weapons and armour inspired by the formidable beasts like Rathalos, Zinogre, and Fatalis, from the universe of Monster Hunter™. This crossover event not only aims to capture the hearts of RAID’s dedicated audience but also beckons to Monster Hunter’s loyal fan base, offering an exciting fresh take on their favorite monsters.
Ronen Gross, VP of business development at Plarium, expressed enthusiasm over the collaboration, noting the exceptional experience of melding two vast gaming franchises to produce original content that resonates with players of both games. The new Champions are embedded with skills that closely reflect the abilities showcased in the Monster Hunter™ series when characters don similar gear, promising a familiar yet innovative gameplay experience.
One of the five Legendary Champions—the Rathalos Blademaster—stands out as a highlight for the player community. In an offer of loyalty, players can acquire this formidable swordsman simply by logging into RAID: Shadow Legends on seven different days during the event period. The other four Champions will be attainable through special time-limited events, adding an element of suspense and urgency for players to participate.
The celebration of this union extends beyond gameplay, with various community and in-game activities planned to honor the collaboration. Additionally, trailers will shed light on the integration of Monster Hunter’s majestic creatures into the realm of Teleria and will feature RAID’s Champions in combat against the iconic Rathalos.
RAID: Shadow Legends, known for its rich storytelling and intricate character development, is available for download on multiple platforms including iOS, Android mobile devices, and PC through the Microsoft Store, Epic Store, Steam, and Plarium’s own platform, Plarium Play.
With an impressive roster that includes Mech Arena, Vikings: War of Clans, and Merge Gardens, Plarium continues to dominate the gaming scene, showcasing a portfolio of 18 diverse games. Their commitment to the gaming community, which spans over 480 million registered users worldwide, is mirrored in their recent collaboration, promising an elevated gaming experience.
Capcom, a titan in the gaming industry, brings its expertise and iconic intellectual property from the Monster Hunter™ series to the collaboration. The Osaka-based company is renowned for its contributions to the interactive entertainment sector with a legacy of franchises that have significantly shaped the gaming landscape.
As these two gaming giants merge their creative forces, enthusiasts from across the globe can look forward to an immersive adventure that challenges the boundaries of RPGs. The Monster Hunter™ collaboration with RAID: Shadow Legends is not just an event—it’s a testament to the ever-evolving and interconnecting world of video games, where fantasy and reality coalesce to create unforgettable experiences.
