I finally got around to checking out this light turn-based RPG series, and it’s pretty cool – you play as a young monstie rider, which is a nice change of pace from just being a monster hunter. It’s weird that it didn’t hit PC until last year, though, considering it first came out on the Nintendo 3DS way back in 2016. Even then, I could see it had potential, but the story felt aimed at younger audiences, and the battle system was a little too simple – basically rock-paper-scissors. It felt like they thought people who play Pokémon-like games are still just kids, and not folks like me – people in their thirties and forties who grew up with those games. I was hoping for something a little more complex, but it’s still enjoyable. You can find more info here.

Capcom recently posted an update on Steam to inform players that Microsoft will stop supporting Windows 10 on October 14th. Because of this, Capcom announced, “we can no longer assure that Monster Hunter: World, Monster Hunter Rise, and Monster Hunter Wilds will function correctly on Windows 10 systems.”

Expect this to be a small download, as this is more of a hotfix than a major update.

Today is September 29th, and that marks the arrival of the final content for the Final Fantasy 14 collaboration in Capcom’s action RPG, Monster Hunter Wilds. This includes two character classes from the Square Enix MMO, a boss fight against Omega Planetes, and other exciting additions. However, Final Fantasy 14 players will have to wait until October 7th to receive their own Monster Hunter Wilds content. Luckily, a new trailer has been released to keep fans entertained until then, although it doesn’t quite fulfill every expectation.

Monster Hunter Stories 3 was revealed just about two months ago (causing quite a surprise for at least one fan!) during the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase. After being showcased at the Tokyo Game Show, we now have more information about the game, including monsters first seen in Monster Hunter Wilds, and importantly, the game’s setting in time.

This new trailer offers an in-depth look at the gameplay in the Northern Beaches chapter update for the action RPG, Titan Quest 2. The early access update for the Northern Beaches chapter introduces new areas to explore, challenging new enemies, three unique bosses, and updated skills for all character specializations, among other additions.

Okay, so Omega Planetes is seriously the biggest thing added to Monster Hunter Wilds. It’s not just part of what looks like a huge collaboration event, but honestly, it’s one of the toughest monsters in the whole game, maybe *the* toughest. I’ve fought a lot of hard monsters, but Omega Planetes is on another level – it’s more difficult and visually impressive than things like Tempered Lagiacrus, Seregios, and even Gore Magala. It’s a real challenge!

During Tokyo Game Show this weekend, Capcom and Square Enix gave fans a closer look at their exciting collaboration. Monster Hunter: Wild’s portion of the crossover is available now, allowing hunters to battle Omega Planetes. Final Fantasy 14 will be joining in on October 7th with The Windward Wilds trial, where Warriors of Light can challenge Arkveld.

Patch notes for Monster Hunter Wilds update 1.03 can be read below, via the official website:

A significant new update for Monster Hunter Wilds is now available on both consoles and PC. Update 1.030.010 includes a new quest, a new monster variation, and a host of other additions, so expect a large download.
