Free Metroid, Street Fighter Gear Headline Monster Hunter 4's May DLC

Capcom today continued the rollout of free DLC for Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. For May, that content includes more weapons, gear, and items, some of which includes crossover content from Metroid, Street Fighter, and Mega Man.

The new DLC, which is out now, adds 14 new missions, five new weapons, and three full sets of armor to earn. You'll also be able to earn six new Palico weapons and six new armor sets for your feline companions.

More specifically, by completing specific missions, you'll be able to get Blanka, Chun Li, and Mega Man outfits for your Palico, as well as two sets of Samus' armor (Varia and Zero suits) and her Arm Cannon weapon for yourself. There's also new gear based on a collaboration with Universal Studios Japan.

Other new content of note includes Guild Card customization options, a bonus Palico, and a Poogie outfit (the Kitchen Pig).

All of this can be had for free, although, as with past MH4U DLC releases, you'll need to browse through the many categories listed in the DLC menu to manually download it all. You can access the DLC area from the main menu.

More free DLC will be coming for the month of June on the first Friday of the month. The trailer above for May's DLC teases that next month's content will include Dante's (pre-DMC) outfit and weapon from the Devil May Cry series.
