The popular particular villager Isabelle from Animal Crossing: New Horizons has been chosen by an Animal Crossing: New Horizons fan to be the hunter’s outfit in Monster Hunter Rise. The artist creates a whole look and attire strikingly similar to the well-known canine secretary from the life simulation game Monster Hunter Rise by entirely using character modification possibilities.
Characters from both video games have previously been mixed in one situation. In a Nintendo game called Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Rathalos from the Monster Hunter series and Isabelle made an official joint appearance. As a result, players probably used both characters in some of the fighting game’s matches. As an alternative, fans have combined the two fandoms through their creative works, such as a Doom Eternal mod, and now, a Redditor going by the nickname Jigenrqz 22 has built an Isabelle costume for their MH Rise character.
Jimenez 22 questioned other Animal Crossing: New Horizons players on their Reddit thread whether the Isabelle clothing they created for their Monster Hunter Rise avatar is charming or evil. The entire ensemble, including Isabelle’s recognizable green and yellow color scheme, was seen in their uploaded photo collage. Additionally, the Redditor marked their hunter’s face with Isabelle’s nose and fur colors, mimicking her fluffy golden hair with in-game settings for Monster Hunter Rise.
Fortunately, both are available for the Nintendo Switch games Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Monster Hunter Rise. Accordingly, there is probably a good likelihood that Nintendo will create official collaborations between the two video games. Earlier iterations of the Monster Hunter franchise had formal alliances with Nintendo.
In those earlier games, some Animal Crossing characters were included as hunters or Palicos with weapons and armor. We can only hope that this means the two businesses will collaborate in the future to formally introduce Animal Crossing: New Horizons to the hunting genre. Unfortunately, fans will only have to wait till the devs themselves release new information until then.
