The Gamescom ONL 2025 MH Wilds x FFXIV trailer showcased a Chocobo-themed Seikret skin and Omega Planetes, an additional monster arriving with TU3. While players had achieved a semblance of the former through Seikret customization, the latter will surely add a new threat for hunters to contend with.

The trailer also featured the arrival of Cactuar in MH Wilds. Monster Hunter World veterans will remember this Endemic Life that can be captured or kicked to trigger a needle storm.

TU3 was initially supposed to include an additional monster, a fresh season for Festival of Accord, a new quest difficulty level, and a new reward system. The last two were instead added as part of the version 1.021 update (TU 2.5). Now we have an idea of what the additional monster is and a glimpse of what other content players can expect.

The developers will also add several improvements and adjustments to the gameplay. Monster Hunter Wilds' PC performance has been a bone of contention for players and something that the team behind the game is actively looking to address in future patches.
