LOS ANGELES (Aug. 19, 2025) – Capcom and Square Enix Co., Ltd revealed a new collaboration during Opening Night Live at Gamescom 2025 in Cologne, Germany. The crossover will bring new content to both Final Fantasy XIV and Monster Hunter Wilds.

Final Fantasy XIV Producer Naoki Yoshida and Monster Hunter Wilds Producer Ryozo Tsujimoto unveiled the collaboration, which includes the introduction of a new monster called Omega Planetes to Monster Hunter Wilds.
