During Tokyo Game Show 2025, Square Enix announced the Monster Hunter Wilds collaboration event in Final Fantasy XIV will begin on October 7. The Final Fantasy XIV and Monster Hunter Wilds collaboration event includes a new quest along with new gear, mounts, and minions.
To start the collaboration quest dubbed “The White Wanderer,” Final Fantasy XIV players must be at least level 100 and have completed the main scenario quest “Dawntrail.” The collaboration is not limited-time, so it’s a permanent addition to the game, according to the Final Fantasy XIV Lodestone website.
What’s more, Square Enix has revealed the schedule for Final Fantasy XIV Fan Festival, which will span across three events in North America, Europe, and Japan in 2026. A video message from Final Fantasy XIV producer and director Naoki Yoshida was released on the 12th anniversary of A Realm Reborn as well.
