Capcom and Square Enix dropped a surprise collaboration announcement at Gamescom 2025: Monster Hunter Wilds is getting a Final Fantasy XIV crossover event.
Two Giants Collide
The collaboration was announced directly by the producers of both games, making it clear this isn’t just a simple cosmetic crossover. While details are still under wraps, the involvement of both development teams suggests something more substantial than just themed armor sets.
A History of Crossovers
Monster Hunter has a long history of collaborations — from Street Fighter to The Witcher to Assassin’s Creed. But the FFXIV crossover is particularly exciting because both games share a massive, dedicated player base. FFXIV’s own crossover events with other IPs have been some of the MMO’s most popular content.
What Could It Be?
Possibilities include monster hunts featuring FFXIV bosses, new weapon designs based on FFXIV’s iconic armaments, and possibly even a crossover quest line. If Capcom handles it well, this could be one of the most popular crossover events in Monster Hunter history.
