Capcom has announced that Monster Hunter: World players will soon be able to dress their hunters up like wise-cracking Devil May Cry hero, Dante. 

The latest crossover for the record-setting action-adventure game will let players strap on Dante’s red leather coat and silver hair, as well as being able to wield his iconic Force Edge sword. The weapon will fall under Monster Hunter: World’s Charge Blade category, though unlike its stablemates can’t be equipped with a shield (don’t fret though, as you can still block attacks).

Right now it’s unknown exactly when Dante’s clobber will be made available in the game, although you can expect to craft it from materials obtained from a related Event Quest. Note that the gear is available to PS4 and Xbox One players unlike the Horizon Zero Dawn crossover, which was exclusive to Sony console owners. 

Speaking of Capcom’s hack-‘n-slash franchise, this week also marks the release of Devil May Cry HD Collection for current-generation consoles, which remasters the first three games in the series. The collection was previously released on PS3 and Xbox 360 six years ago and held up pretty well.
