Capcom is stopping a microtransaction in Monster Hunter Wilds that charges players to edit their hunter’s base appearance. Multiple outlets report that the feature is being retired, with the ability to make these appearance changes becoming available without additional cost.
The reported change specifically affects editing of core character looks, including hunter appearance and the Palico “cat-friend” companion. Eurogamer and Polygon both frame the update as removing one of the game’s most criticized monetization elements, while other aspects of the broader monetization model are not discussed in the provided reports. Timing details may vary by outlet coverage, but both indicate the change is expected “soon” and that players will be able to adjust these appearance settings whenever they want.
Overall, the accounts align that Capcom is eliminating charges tied to altering base appearance, while the companies’ broader plans for other microtransactions are not covered here.
