Capcom Cafe Converting Into Monster Hunter Cafe
Japanese gamers are already familiar with various game-themed cafes such as the Square Enix or Pokemon cafes, but Monster Hunter Rise will be getting a themed cafe. To celebrate the launch of the upcoming Nintendo Switch exclusive Monster Hunter game, Capcom will be converting its cafe into a Monster Hunter-themed cafe towards the end of the month. Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate is available exclusively for Nintendo Switch right now, with Rise releasing on March 26th.
Gamers that visit the Capcom Cafe in Saitama, Japan on March 26th will be greeted by an entirely Monster Hunter-themed cafe rather than the traditional blend of various Capcom properties. With travel restrictions in place, it’s likely that only those living in Japan will be able to visit the Aeon Lake Town in Saitama location to see the themed set-up in person. These changes to the Capcom Cafe will run from March 26th until April 22nd.
Monster Hunter Rise Capcom Cafe Collaboration to Appear in March
The Capcom Cafe will see a
Monster Hunter Rise collaboration appear in March 2021. Capcom has officially decided on a date, and shared a key visual with audiences. The
Monster Hunter Rise Capcom Cafe collaboration will begin on March 26 and last until April 22, 2021. The collaboration event will be held at the Aeon Lake Town location in Saitama, Japan. [Thanks, Gamer!]
The key visual for the collaboration event leans into the aesthetic of the player hub in Monster Hunter Rise. The illustration features ink brush strokes associated with traditional Japanese artwork, and shows various characters and monsters from the upcoming title eating together in harmony. You can take a look at this illustration below.
