Square Enix has officially launched Patch 7.35 for Final Fantasy XIV Online, introducing one of the most anticipated collaborations in recent memory, a crossover event with Monster Hunter Wilds. Available now across PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, this update bridges two titans of the RPG genre for a thrilling shared experience.
Originally revealed during Gamescom 2025, the crossover invites Warriors of Light to take on Monster Hunter Wilds’ formidable Guardian Arkveld, available in both Normal and Extreme modes. The battle captures the spirit of a traditional monster hunt, testing reflexes, coordination, and strategy while embracing FFXIV’s signature raid mechanics. Victorious players will earn an array of themed rewards, including a unique mount modeled after Arkveld, adorable minions, and stylish housing items to commemorate the event.
A New Challenge in the Deep
Beyond the crossover content, Patch 7.35 introduces Pilgrim’s Traverse, the latest addition to the Deep Dungeon series. Designed for solo adventurers and organized parties alike, this new dungeon pushes players to adapt and overcome randomized floors filled with traps, elite foes, and high-risk rewards. The mode also features a flexible challenge log and multiple boss difficulty options, allowing both casual explorers and dedicated raiders to tailor their experience.
The expansion of Deep Dungeon content continues FFXIV’s tradition of blending accessible gameplay with high-stakes progression, ensuring long-term replayability. Players can expect exclusive loot drops, hidden secrets, and environmental storytelling that enriches the world’s lore with every descent.
More Stories and Sidequests
The update also adds new Allied Society Quests centered around the Yok Huy faction, expanding Eorzea’s political and cultural landscape. Alongside that comes a new installment of the Inconceivably Further Hildibrand Adventures, the beloved comedy-driven questline known for its over-the-top antics and eccentric cast.
A fresh trailer accompanying the patch showcases the full scale of the crossover, highlighting the Guardian Arkveld showdown and the cosmetic rewards that await those daring enough to face it. With Patch 7.35, Final Fantasy XIV Online continues to evolve — not only as a massive online world but as a living celebration of RPG culture, now bound by the thrill of the hunt shared with Monster Hunter Wilds fans.
