My Hero Ultra Rumble Season 12: Monster Hunter Crossover? Bloody Hell, What's Going On?
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
The *My Hero Ultra Rumble* Season 12 trailer awkwardly includes *Monster Hunter Wilds* content, sparking speculation about a possible crossover, though it's likely just a cheeky cross-promotion tactic.
Right, so *My Hero Ultra Rumble* just dropped a trailer for Season 12, and... well, it's a bit of a head-scratcher (in a good way, mostly). IGN South Africa (cheers, mates!) put it up, and initially, I was like, 'Okay, new season, new characters, probably some shiny skins, yawn.' But then...bam! *Monster Hunter Wilds* content starts creeping in.
Now, I’m no Nostradamus, but that’s a crossover I definitely didn’t see coming. We're talking a *Festival of Accord: Flamefete Summer Seasonal Event Trailer* nestled right in the middle of the *My Hero Ultra Rumble* announcement. It's like someone accidentally spliced two different reels together during editing after a particularly strong cuppa. Or maybe they've been messing with reality-bending quirks at Bandai Namco? (Wouldn’t be the first time, eh?).
But wait, what does this *mean*? Is All Might about to start wielding a Great Sword and taking down Rathalos? Probably not, let’s be honest. More likely, we'll see some *Monster Hunter*-themed skins, emotes, and maybe even a limited-time event mode. Imagine Deku dressed as a Palico – adorable chaos, I reckon!
Look, the way the trailer is presented is... quirky, to put it mildly. It is a spliced trailer of *My Hero Ultra Rumble* Season 12 followed by the *Monster Hunter Wilds* Festival of Accord event. The end result is a short trailer that looks like it could hint at a collaboration, or possibly just a little cross-promotion. Either way, it's got us talking, hasn’t it?
And that’s the clever bit, innit? Even if it's just a simple cross-promo, the unexpected juxtaposition of these two wildly different franchises generates buzz. It's a little like a magician distracting you with one hand while pulling a rabbit out of their hat with the other. Keeps us on our toes, eh?
Speaking of keeping us on our toes, what kind of game is *My Hero Ultra Rumble* anyway? It's a free-to-play battle royale where you control heroes and villains from the *My Hero Academia* universe. Teams of three duke it out, using their quirks (superpowers) to be the last team standing. It's chaotic, it's colourful, and it's surprisingly addictive, especially if you're a fan of the anime. You can even find some NFT collections around *My Hero Academia* but I won't bore you with that stuff now... Maybe in another article!
So, what’s the takeaway here, mate? Season 12 is coming to *My Hero Ultra Rumble*, and seemingly, *Monster Hunter Wilds* is getting some sort of summer festival. Whether these two events are somehow linked remains to be seen. But the trailer has certainly stirred the pot and got the rumour mill churning. I can’t say for certain whether the games are related, or if the trailer producer just made a mistake. Only time will tell. But until then, I'm keeping my eyes peeled for a Plus Ultra Great Sword!
Bottom line: *My Hero Ultra Rumble* Season 12 looks set to be a right laugh, and the possibility of a *Monster Hunter* crossover, however slim, makes it all the more intriguing. Whether this partnership has any integration with Web3 or blockchain gaming remains to be seen.
