"Monster Hunter: World" has recently just been released a few days ago and needless to say, more and more people are getting the game. To get things even hyped up, some of people's favorite "Street Fighter 5" characters are getting featured in the game, and it is all for free.

Capcom recently made the announcement that Ryu and Sakura from the "Street Fighter" series will have armor sets inspired by their outfit. Although players do not exactly get to play with them, pretty much like the Mega Man-inspired palico, they at least get to look like Ryu or Sakura. It is pretty easy to get the armor sets too.

As explained in their announcement blog for the game series crossover, all they need is to actually have a PlayStation (PS4) save file of the "Street Fighter V" game. In that sense, it is not entirely free, but it is still a worthy bonus for those loyal to Capcom's games. Note that players still need to complete a quest.

"In just a few weeks, 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," reads the official announcement. "Just channel your fighting spirit, complete that quest and you'll get the 'SFV tickets' as the special reward item."

Once all that is done, players will just need to bring them to The Smithy where they can exchange it for the armor sets. Although it did mention that, for now, it remains an exclusive for the PS4, players from other consoles will able to get it at a later date. Lastly, the SFV tickets will only grant players the Ryu armor set. The Sakura armor set will also come at a later date.

"Monster Hunter: World" has been out since Jan. 26, 2018 for the PS4 and Xbox One. A PC version of the game is set to release in the next few months.
