Monster Hunter Wilds Announces Ichiran Ramen and Universal Studios Japan Collab Events
Capcom has officially announced an exciting new wave of in-game content featuring collaborations with the Japanese ramen chain Ichiran and Universal Studios Japan for the hit action game Monster Hunter Wilds.
This upcoming series of updates brings delicious ramen-themed buffs, exclusive themed equipment, and challenging new event quests for seasoned hunters to tackle.
Monster Hunter Wilds is the latest installment in the massively popular action role-playing franchise created by Capcom.
The game tasks players with tracking and hunting colossal monsters across breathtaking and dynamic ecosystems using a variety of specialized weapons.
Successfully hunting these dangerous beasts allows players to harvest materials and craft powerful new gear to face even greater threats in the wild.
The newly revealed content was showcased during the main stage presentation at the Monster Hunter Festa ’26 fan festival in Japan.
Let’s take a look at the newly announced in-game events and collaborations!
- Ichiran Ramen Collaboration
A special Felyne staff member will appear in the Gathering Hub to distribute order forms to players.
Hunters can use these tickets to eat the classic Natural Tonkotsu Ramen or the Tonkotsu-Free Ramen for unique combat buffs.
These hearty meals provide helpful skills that increase part breakage damage, speed up stamina recovery, and allow consumable items to be used twice in a single quest.
- Universal Studios Japan 25th Anniversary Collaboration
Hunters can take on a special event quest to gather Azure Star Gems to craft exclusive theme park equipment.
The rewards include the Azure Star Long Sword, the Azure Star Dragon Bow, and the Azure Era Samurai armor set.
A matching set of Azure Era Cat armor is also available to craft for Palico companions.
- Ten-Star Zoh-Shia Event Quest
A highly difficult quest titled Elpis of the Celestials will pit players against a powerful ten-star Zoh-Shia.
This intense hunt requires a minimum Hunter Rank of 100 to participate.
- Ten-Star Gogmazios Special Task
Hunters must face a terrifying ten-star Gogmazios without the aid of high-ground support characters.
This challenging battle also requires a minimum Hunter Rank of 100 to accept.
