Monster Hunter Rise Event Quest Adds Ninja Themed Stickers

Capcom has added a new event quest to Monster Hunter Rise which rewards players with ninja themed stickers once completed. The “Beast of the Shadows” hunt is currently available for free via Senri the Mailman. Once completed, four new chat stickers featuring Master Utsushi, Fugen, Iori, and Kogarashi will be unlocked.

To unlock the quests, players must first go to Senri the Mailman in the Steelworks area of Kamura Village. In the Add-on Content menu, a quest titled “Beast of the Shadows” will be available to download. Like the previous event quest that unlocked the Ninjutsu gesture, players must be HR4 or higher to participate in the quest. However, it’s important to note that downloading the event quest has no level requirements.

From there, players will be able to start the hunt through Minoto in the Gathering Hub. The event quest pits players against a High-Rank Nargacuga in the Shrine Ruins area and has no special hunting requirements. The ninja sticker set will automatically be added to the Monster Hunter Rise chat menu once the hunt is successfully completed.

Here’s a better look at the new ninja stickers and quest requirements:

This Monster Hunter Rise event quest is the second to be added since the game’s launch. The free title update released late last April also added the Kushala Daora, Chameleos, and Teostra, as well as new Apex monsters to the game. Additionally, developers stated during the most recent broadcast that they will continue to add unlockable emotes and stickers through event quests  in the future.

Monster Hunter Rise is immediately available on the Nintendo Switch. A PC port of the game is also planned to release sometime in 2022.

On April 20, 2021, Steamforged Games announced that the Monster Hunter World: The Board Game Kickstarter would begin. The goal involved raising  $210,028 by April 30, 2021. However, within ten minutes it reached that goal. The game is now fully funded and expected to ship in September 2022.

There will be over 600 cards. This base game pledge will cost someone about £51/€58/$70.

There are also some expansions, a Kulu-Ya-Ku Kickstarter bonus, and two “login bonus” unlocks coming each day the crowdfunding campaign runs. If someone gets in at around the £102/€117/$140 level, they also get Wildspire Waste, Kulu-Ya-Ku, and the login bonuses. Wildspire Waste adds the Charge Blade, Heavy Bowgun, Insect Glaive, and Switch Axe hunters and Barroth, Diablos, Jyuratodus, and Pukei-Pukei monsters.

Date Your Weapons When Boyfriend Dungeon Comes to Xbox Game Pass

Canadian developer Kitfox Games announced its upcoming title Boyfriend Dungeon will also come to Xbox Game Pass. Back in 2020, the company announced the game for the Nintendo Switch and Steam. The sword-dating roguelike will also be available on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and the PC Windows Store via Game Pass in 2021.

Kitfox Games originally planned to release the shack-and-slash game in 2020. However, in the interest of the teams’ mental and physical health, the company pushed the title into 2021. Additionally, Kitfox Games uploaded an announcement trailer to go along with the reveal.

In Boyfriend Dungeon, players will take their weapons on dates while fighting their way through procedurally generated dungeons. The developer describes the title as a light-hearted and fantastical adventure where you level up your weapons, uncover their stories, and foster relationships. In addition to the variety of gameplay, the seven lovely weapons will also have different fighting styles that will play differently. Kitfox Games also promises the roguelike will be inclusive with a “tasteful approach to gender and sexuality” with male, female, and non-binary romance options.

Boyfriend Dungeon will release in 2021 on Xbox Game Pass for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and the PC Windows Store. Additionally, the title will come to Nintendo Switch and Steam in 2021.
