Everything you need to know about Monster Hunter Wilds’ title update 3 (TU3), including the official patch notes, balance changes, and more.
Monster Hunter Wilds’ title update 3 is easily its biggest post-launch content drop yet. While the previous title update did feature new monsters and seasonal events, they don’t hold a candle to the offerings in TU3. The biggest highlight of TU3 is the new Final Fantasy 14 collaboration, which not only brings exclusive cosmetics but also a whole new monster to the game, Omega Planetes.
Much like Monster Hunter World’s FF14 collab monster, Behemoth, Omega is an incredibly challenging monster, perfectly suited for MHW’s endgame. In addition to the FF14 collab, the update also buffs Support Hunters, fixes some gameplay-related issues, and adds balance changes. Here’s a look at the official patch notes for Monster Hunter Wilds’ title update 3 (TU3).
