Monster Hunter Rise is delisting the Sonic DLC in January

Capcom has announced that it will remove a number of components from the fair Monster Hunter is rising collaborative content in January.

This comes from a new post shared on Twitter today (November 29), in which the publisher stated that the Sonic the hedgehogUniversal Studios Japan and Sengan and DLC content will no longer be available in-game for download after January 21, 2024 (via VGC).

Players who currently own the DLC can continue using it as long as they download it before the deadline.

However, once the content is deleted, even those who own the content will no longer be able to download it and therefore cannot receive the rewards or the respective quests.

“Please download this free content before (January 21) to continue using it normally. You can’t download it again,” Capcom said.

You can read about the collaborative content that will be removed below:
