As it turns out, this is a very exciting week for fans who have been theorizing about Monster Hunter World crossover gear, items, and quests. Just a few days ago Capcom announced details about an upcoming crossover DLC with Devil May Cry and now the Monster Hunter World fans are learning that some Mega Man crossover action will begin in mid-April.

The announcement came from the official Monster Hunter Twitter account, which confirmed that Palicoes will be able to equip some rad Mega Man gear starting April 13.

The tweet also offered a hint as to what the gear will look like. As fans of the Mega Man series might imagine, it's beautiful, blue, and pixelated...

The Palico companions in Monster Hunter World quickly became of the game's most popular features thanks to their adorable character design and to some hilarious reaction videos of real cats seeing the creatures. Gamers have likely already taken the time to collect all of the best Palico gear, but there's always room for new special items.

Once the gear is released, we'll be sure to detail exactly how players can unlock and use it. Until then, check out the rest of our strategy guides for more tips and tricks. Happy hunting!
