Snake’s list of mortal enemies appears to have gotten a bit longer, as the latest issue of Famitsu reveals that upcoming PSP game Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker will feature a surprise crossover that we certainly didn’t see coming.
According to early details from the Japanese magazine, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker will feature beasts and bosses from the Monster Hunter series. That’s right, Snake and his fellow cooperative Snakes will be taking down giant Wyverns, Velocriprey and other Monster Hunter favourites in addition to attack helicopters.
Looks like Monster Hunter mascot Felyne will also make a cameo in Kojima Productions new Metal Gear game, with Snake cooking up some monster meat for sustenance.
Expect more details following the Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker event in Tokyo today.

Wednesday, April 7, 2010 at 1:35 PMIt makes good marketing sense for the Japanese market since monster hunter is a huge hit and it expands re-playability of the game. A possible future paid DLC perhaps?

Snake taking down Mothra would be kinda cool tho…
