Capcom has unveiled an exciting new feature in Monster Hunter Wilds, allowing players to customize their hunter and Palico appearances. The first edit comes at no cost, but any subsequent changes will require purchasing Character Edit Vouchers. These vouchers can be bought in packs of three for $6 or as a combined set for both characters for $10. Without these vouchers, players are limited to modifying hairstyles, eyebrow color, makeup, and clothing, but cannot alter core facial features.

This monetization approach was not revealed during the game's early previews leading up to its full release. Instead, it was announced last week through Capcom's social media channels. Despite the controversies surrounding microtransactions and some performance issues, Monster Hunter Wilds achieved a remarkable milestone, boasting over 1.3 million concurrent players on Steam at its launch.
Capcom has not yet responded to the community's feedback on this new feature. Players have expressed significant dissatisfaction with the paid customization model, drawing unfavorable comparisons to earlier entries in the series where appearance changes were either free or could be unlocked using in-game currency. Many fans argue that this new system detracts from what was once a cherished and fundamental aspect of the Monster Hunter franchise.
