At the Tokyo Game Show recently, publishers Capcom and Sega announced that a Sonic the Hedgehog event was coming to Monster Hunter 4G. The event will be available to the Japanese, European, and North American markets.

Basically, the event will involve a member of the Felyne race who will be wearing a Sonic outfit. Players who participate in the event will have a chance to obtain the Caliburn sword from Sonic & The Black Knight to wield in-game, as well as a classic Sonic-themed guild card. There will also be a special Sonic running pose for your character to adopt.

Classic nostalgia feels rising…

It’s not clear exactly what the event actually entails, but it’s pretty certain you’re going to have to hunt some monsters. Call it a hunch.

Monster Hunter 4 is currently out on Nintendo 3DS in Japan and Korea. Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is scheduled for release in Japan in October 2014, and in North America and Europe in early 2015.

There’s currently no release date for the Sonic event, but early impressions indicate that it will be available to Japanese, North American, and European players at launch.
