Monster Hunter Wilds Free Title Update 3 out Sep 29, includes Final Fantasy XIV content

Monster Hunter Wilds Free Title Update 3 arrives on September 29, featuring a special collaboration with Square Enix’s MMORPG, Final Fantasy XIV Online! The update includes the additional monster Omega Planetes, a wide variety of collaboration content from the world of Eorzea, and much more.

In early October, Final Fantasy XIV Online will also add collaboration content from Monster Hunter Wilds, including the Guardian Arkveld. We hope you check out the fun collaboration content in both games!

Monster Hunter Wilds – Free Title Update 3

Embark on a new quest in Monster Hunter Wilds, which begins with the arrival of the characters Alpha and Omega from Eorzea, the setting of Final Fantasy XIV Online.

After downloading the update, hunters who are at least Hunter Rank (HR) 41 or higher and have completed the main mission “What Lies Ahead” can take on a new special extra mission in the Iceshard Cliffs.

Additional Monster: Omega Planetes

Omega Planetes has traveled across dimensions! Having descended into the Forbidden Lands, the Omega frame now bears a new name—one that sets it apart from the others.

Omega Planetes will spawn a Nerscylla Clone as it charges its powerful Delta Attack. Defeating the Nerscylla Clone will generate a powerful shield for you and your allies to take shelter in, so be sure to work together to take it down. Other creatures like the Morbol Seedling and the Cactuar—said to have wandered in from the otherworldly realm of Eorzea, will also appear in this special collaboration.

Two Jobs from Final Fantasy XIV join the Hunt

The two-handed sword wielding Dark Knight, who unleashes powerful techniques with the power of darkness, and the Pictomancer, who attacks by bringing paintings to life, are two unique jobs reinterpreted with unique gameplay mechanics in Monster Hunter Wilds.

Dark Knight

Activating the skill Soul of the Dark Knight on the Bale Armor α series armor unlocks the special action: The Blackest Knight. Using The Blackest Knight from the item bar consumes your own HP to generate a powerful barrier. The Greatsword “Shadowbringer” also features a unique dedicated weapon skill.

Pictomancer

Using Soul of the Pictomancer lets you unleash powerful spells with Pictomancy via the item bar. Cast three different spells in sequence and finish with the powerful Mog of the Ages spell.

Pictomancy deals high damage to monsters in Final Fantasy XIV Online and possesses high damage potential in your hunts, so don’t forget to take advantage of it!

Enjoy a variety of content from the collaboration, including Palico equipment, a Seikret Decoration, Pendant, Gesture, Hunter Profile background, poses, nameplate, and title!!
