Capcom has rolled out an exciting new feature in *Monster Hunter Wilds* that lets players customize the look of their hunter and Palico. The first edit comes free of charge, but if you want to keep tweaking your appearance, you'll need to buy Character Edit Vouchers. These vouchers come in packs of three for $6 or as a combo pack for both characters at $10. Without these vouchers, your customization options are limited to just hairstyles, eyebrow color, makeup, and clothing—core facial features remain untouched.

This monetization strategy was kept under wraps during the game's early previews and only came to light last week through Capcom's social media announcements. Despite the stir caused by microtransactions and some performance hiccups, *Monster Hunter Wilds* smashed records, boasting over 1.3 million concurrent players on Steam at launch.
Capcom has yet to respond to the community's feedback on this new system. Fans are voicing their discontent, drawing unfavorable comparisons to earlier games in the series where appearance changes were either free or could be earned with in-game currency. Many feel that this move detracts from what was once a cherished aspect of the franchise.
