Monster Hunter Wilds Adds Real-Money Microtransactions

Author : Lillian Apr 01,2025

Capcom has unveiled an exciting new feature in *Monster Hunter Wilds* that lets players customize their hunter and Palico appearances. While the initial edit comes at no cost, any further changes will require the purchase of Character Edit Vouchers. These vouchers are offered in packs of three for $6, or you can opt for a combined set for both characters at $10. Without these vouchers, players are limited to tweaking hairstyles, eyebrow color, makeup, and clothing, with no ability to modify core facial features.

This monetization strategy was not revealed during the game's early previews before its full launch. It was only last week that Capcom made the announcement via their social media platforms. Despite the controversies around microtransactions and some performance hiccups, *Monster Hunter Wilds* shattered records, boasting over 1.3 million concurrent players on Steam at launch.

Capcom has yet to respond to the player feedback concerning this new system. The community has voiced significant discontent with the paid customization model, drawing unfavorable comparisons to earlier games in the series where appearance modifications were free or could be earned through in-game currency. Many fans argue that this move detracts from what was traditionally seen as a core feature of the franchise.
