Monster Hunter Wilds stops paid edit vouchers on 3 December
Capcom will remove paid Character Edit Vouchers for Monster Hunter Wilds on 3 December and give players 10 free Character and Palico vouchers.
- From that date, players will receive 10 Character Edit Vouchers and 10 Palico Edit Vouchers for free.
- Anyone who bought vouchers earlier will not get a refund, but will receive a Special Thank-You Pendant Set including the Heavenly Hog and Beelzeboar pendants.
What happened
Capcom is removing the paid Character Edit Vouchers for Monster Hunter Wilds from digital stores on 3 December. Those vouchers let players re-customise their hunter and Palico without starting a new character. The source explicitly mentions both the Character Edit Voucher and the Palico Edit Voucher as paid options that will disappear from sale.
After that change, Capcom will temporarily hand out free vouchers: 10 Character Edit Vouchers and 10 Palico Edit Vouchers per player. These can be used to adjust a character’s appearance again until the full free re-edit option becomes available. In the provided context, that free re-edit option is tied to a later content release, but the source does not give a separately verifiable release date for it.
The source links that later free re-edit feature to Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance. In the supplied context, this is described as an expansion due later, and the included video information points to an official Capcom trailer for Ascendance. However, it remains unclear from this input whether the change applies worldwide or may differ by region or platform.
Players who already bought paid vouchers will not receive a refund, according to the source. Instead, Capcom is offering a Special Thank-You Pendant Set, including the Heavenly Hog and Beelzeboar pendants. The source also says this compensation can be claimed from 3 December, though the provided context does not specify whether that applies to all buyers or only a defined group.

Background
The edit vouchers were a paid option in Monster Hunter Wilds that let players change their hunter and Palico appearance without starting over. With this announced change, the paid option is being removed from sale while Capcom temporarily gives out free vouchers. The source specifically refers to Character Edit Vouchers and Palico Edit Vouchers, not to a general cosmetics discount or a broader in-game store promotion.
The supplied source names Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance as the content release that should bring the full free re-edit option. The available context confirms that Capcom is ending voucher sales and distributing free vouchers, but it does not provide a hard, separately verifiable release date for Ascendance. The included YouTube metadata does refer to a Capcom video with an official trailer for Ascendance, but that metadata should only be treated as context and not as standalone proof of additional details.
Capcom also says, according to the source, that earlier buyers will not get a refund. Instead, they will receive an in-game pendant set as compensation, with the Heavenly Hog and Beelzeboar specifically named. The source adds that this Special Thank-You Pendant Set can be claimed from 3 December. Because regional and platform-specific details are missing, it is still unclear whether the rollout is identical everywhere or whether exceptions apply.
