Capcom has unveiled an exciting new feature in *Monster Hunter Wilds* that lets players customize the appearance of their hunter and Palico. The first modification comes at no cost, but any subsequent changes will require the purchase of Character Edit Vouchers. These vouchers can be bought in packs of three for $6, or you can opt for a comprehensive set for both characters at $10. Without these vouchers, your customization options are limited to hairstyles, eyebrow color, makeup, and clothing, leaving core facial features untouched.

This new monetization strategy was not revealed during the game's initial previews prior to its full release. Capcom made the announcement last week through their social media platforms. Despite the stir caused by microtransactions and some performance hiccups, *Monster Hunter Wilds* shattered records, boasting over 1.3 million concurrent players on Steam at its launch.
Capcom has yet to respond to the player community's feedback on this move. The fanbase has voiced significant discontent with the paid customization system, drawing unfavorable comparisons to earlier Monster Hunter games where appearance changes were freely available or could be earned through in-game currency. Many fans argue that this shift in policy detracts from a core aspect that once defined the franchise.
