Monster Hunter Wilds Introduces Real-Money Microtransactions
Monster Hunter Wilds' new character customization feature sparks controversy. Capcom's latest title allows hunters to edit their appearance and that of their Palico companions, but subsequent edits require purchasing Character Edit Vouchers. These vouchers are sold in packs of three for $6 or a dual-character pack for $10.

This paid customization system, absent from pre-release previews, was announced last week on Capcom's social media. Despite the backlash and reported performance issues, Monster Hunter Wilds achieved remarkable success, boasting over 1.3 million concurrent Steam players at launch.
Capcom remains silent on player feedback. The community is largely unhappy with the monetization, contrasting it with previous games where character customization was free or achievable through in-game progression. Many fans view this as a significant departure from established franchise norms and a potentially damaging alteration of core gameplay elements.
