Monster Hunter Wilds Update 1.041.040

The next major Monster Hunter Wilds content drop, Title Update 3, has a release date, and it’s coming next week!

While the update will introduce new monsters, cosmetics, and event quests, the biggest surprise is the Final Fantasy XIV Online collaboration, where players will be able to take on the Omega Planetes.

This is the second straight collab for the game, after last month’s Street Fighter 6 crossover content.

Realms Collide in Monster Hunter Wilds Title Update 3

As revealed during TGS 2025, Monster Hunter Wilds Title Update  3 arrives on September 29, 2025, and is set to introduce the following content:

  • The update features a collaboration with FINAL FANTASY XIV Online, where you’ll fight the boss Omega Planetes and encounter unique mechanics from the other game.
  • Two new jobs from FFXIV are available: the Dark Knight and the Pictomancer. You can become a Dark Knight by using the Bale Armor, and a Pictomancer by using the “Soul of the Pictomancer” item.
  • The update also includes a permanent Arch-tempered Nu Udra Event Quest, new quests with rarity 8 materials, a Seregios Challenge Quest, and an Arch-tempered Nu Udra Free Challenge Quest.
  • New cosmetics are available, including a pendant, gesture, Palico and Seikret gear, and four nostalgic gestures as free DLC.
  • Looking ahead, the Festival of Accord: Dreamspell event is coming this fall, and Title Update 4 in December will introduce the monster Gogmazios.

Of course, this isn’t everything that will be included in the update, as you can expect to see plenty of bug fixes and, hopefully, further performance optimizations. We’re sure some balancing changes will be arriving in this update too, and it won’t be long before we get our hands on the patch notes, as the update drops on all platforms next week.

It’s a perfect time to be a Final Fantasy fan, as Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles (read our review) will also be released on September 30, 2025. Soon after, we’ll also get the release of Final Fantasy 7 Remake Integrade and Final Fantasy 16 on Xbox Series X}S, with 2026 looking like a bigger year for the franchise with even more releases.
