Monster Hunter Wilds had a bit of a slow beginning, but recent updates have really improved the game. With the release of Title Update 3 just around the corner, Capcom has now shared all the details. While we already knew the featured monster – Omega Planetes – there was still a lot to learn. One key addition in this update is Pictomancy Spells, which are being added as part of a collaboration with Final Fantasy XIV.
The new Monster Hunter Outlanders trailer, released on Wednesday, introduced Aesoland, a mysterious island that serves as the game’s setting. Unlike the existing Monster Hunter mobile game by Niantic, Outlanders will offer gameplay more similar to the classic Monster Hunter titles. Players will hunt both familiar monsters and new “Radiant Species” – creatures mutated by a local mineral called Radiantite. These Radiant Species are particularly dangerous, as the mineral makes them extremely aggressive and ferocious, so caution is advised.
The *Monster Hunter Stories* series started as a different take on the popular *Monster Hunter* games, first appearing on the Nintendo 3DS in 2016. Unlike the main *Monster Hunter* games which focus on action, *Monster Hunter Stories* uses turn-based battles. The first game was so successful that it was later released on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, PC, and mobile. This led to the release of *Monster Hunter Stories 2* in 2021, and just recently, in July, Capcom announced the next installment, *Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection*.

Instead, skilled hunters focus on mastering a specific weapon type and collect different weapons within that category to handle any challenge. *Monster Hunter: World* offers a huge range of weapon choices, and you can still enjoy the game immensely without perfectly optimizing your gear for every fight.
In a recent interview with PC Gamer Magazine, game designer Liang discussed how the Huangxing boss changes when the game is played on the more challenging ‘Hellwalker’ difficulty. He explained that on the normal setting, Huangxing fights like many ‘Souls-like’ games – he has predictable attack patterns that players can learn with practice. It’s a familiar cycle of learning through repeated attempts, similar to the ‘die, die, die, learn, win’ approach common in those games.
I was immediately excited when I learned about the expansion. The focus on everyday life and blacksmithing – something I really enjoy in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 – made me want to trade my adventures for a peaceful life running a forge in Kuttenburg. I initially planned to be a simple, hardworking blacksmith, and the DLC started out perfectly. However, I soon became obsessed with making money, and before I realized it, I wasn’t so honest in my trade anymore.
In October, a baby Seikret and a Vigorwasp will be joining the world of Final Fantasy XIV during its Monster Hunter Wilds collaboration. Some players were hoping for a Palico companion, and that’s understandable – they’re adorable! However, we already had a Palico-like creature when Rathalos appeared in the Monster Hunter: World crossover during the Stormblood expansion, and you can still obtain one today.
