A fan ofAnimal Crossing: New Horizonshas decided that it would be a good idea to dress up their hunter inMonster Hunter Riseas the game’s popular special villager Isabelle. Fully utilizing thecharacter customization options inMonster Hunter Rise, the artist completes a whole look and outfit that is highly reminiscent of the life sim’s famous canine secretary.
This is not the first time that characters from both video games have been put together in a single scenario. Isabelle and theMonster Hunterseries’ Rathaloshave officially appeared together in another Nintendo title likeSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, so fans likely played the fighting game with both characters in some matches. Otherwise, fans combine the two fandoms through original creations like aDoom Eternalmod, and now, a Redditor with the username Jigenrqz_22 has made an Isabelle costume for theirMH Risecharacter.

On their Reddit thread, Jigenrqz_22 asked their fellowAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsplayersif the Isabelle outfit they put together for theirMonster Hunter Risecharacter is cute or cursed. The image collage they shared portrayed the whole outfit, complete with Isabelle’s iconic green and yellow color scheme. The Redditor even usedMonster Hunter Risein-game options to mimic her fluffy golden hair and mark their hunter’s face with Isabelle’s nose and fur colors.
Many fans on the Reddit thread seemed to think that theAnimal Crossing: New HorizonsIsabelleoutfit was both blessed and cursed. They applauded Jigenrqz_22 for taking the time and effort to combine the two fandoms together and really make their hunter look like the popularACNHNPC. However, since the costume is fan-generated and not officially produced by the Capcom devs, there seems to be something unnatural about the hunter’s look. Another fan also suggested that the outfit would likely seem less cursed-looking if they removed the face paint, to which the Redditor agreed.
Fortunately,Animal Crossing: New HorizonsandMonster Hunter Riseare both Nintendo Switch titles. This likely means that there is a high chance for Nintendo to make official collaborations between the two video games. OlderMonster Huntertitles have had official partnerships with Nintendo before, and someAnimal Crossingcharacters were added into the previous games as hunter or Palico weapons and armor. Hopefully this means that both companies will work together to bringAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsinto the hunting game officially in the future. Until then, fans will simply have to wait for updates from the developers themselves.
