Monster Hunter World is no stranger to crossovers, from Final Fantasy to Assassin’s Creed, the game has had its fair share of collaborations. While not an official Monster Hunter World collaboration, players can now add Doom and to a lesser extent, Animal Crossing, to that list thanks to a mod by LyraVeil and IIICrimsonIII.
One franchise that Monster Hunter World collaborated with was The Witcher. With that collaboration, the leshen from The Witcher was added as a monster for players to hunt. This new Doom mod takes the skeleton of the leshen to make the Marauder from Doom Eternal into a new monster within Monster Hunter World. The Marauder does not replace the leshen in the games’ files, but the mod creators do warn that this mod can cause the leshen to behave abnormally and thus recommends players have someone else host any hunts against the leshen or ancient leshen.
It wouldn’t be Monster Hunter without gear to make from defeating a new monster. This mod has players covered with armor sets for both the player and their palico, as well as weapons (again including for the palico) and a pendant. The Marauder armor replaces the Savage Deviljho armor and the weapons replace the standard Nergigante weapons. As for the palico, the mod replaces the Rathian gear. However, this is where Animal Crossing comes in. The Moogle palico gear (from the aforementioned Final Fantasy collaboration) is replaced by armor that turns one’s palico into Isabelle from Animal Crossing.
Isabelle being included in a Doom related mod is likely a reference to memes that made their rounds nearing both Doom Eternal and Animal Crossing: New Horizons‘ releases. Both games launched on March 20th of this year and because of how diametrically opposed the two games are in terms of their content, a lot of gamers started making jokes about the two games crossing over.
The Marauder itself is found in four quests that the mod adds into the game. The quests range from a simple quest of just hunting the Marauder to a hunt that involves avoiding an invincible Odogaron while working to take down the Marauder. There is also a tempered version of the quest and one where the player must hunt multiple monsters.
With Iceborne‘s steady drip of content, including Fatalis in October and the very recent film collaboration, the game certainly isn’t starved for new things to do. That being said, it’s always exciting to fight a new monster, so many hunters will no doubt jump at the chance to fight a brand new monster. Especially if they’re Doom fans.
Monster Hunter World is now available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
