Capcom has unveiled an exciting new feature in *Monster Hunter Wilds* that lets players customize the appearance of their hunter and Palico. The initial customization is on the house, but for those looking to make further tweaks, you'll need to purchase Character Edit Vouchers. These vouchers come in packs of three for just $6, or you can snag a combined set for both your hunter and Palico for $10. Without these vouchers, your options are limited to changing hairstyles, eyebrow color, makeup, and clothing, leaving core facial features untouched.

This monetization twist wasn't mentioned during the game's early previews before its full release. The news broke last week through Capcom's social media channels. Despite the buzz around 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 flood of player feedback on this new approach. The community is vocal about their discontent with the paid customization model, drawing unfavorable comparisons to earlier games in the series where appearance changes were either free or earned through in-game currency. Many fans argue that this move strays from a core aspect of what made the franchise so beloved.
