Monster Hunter Wilds gets a permanent price drop

Get ready, Monster Hunter fans! The wait is almost over for a major financial shake-up in the world of Monster Hunter. Capcom has announced significant changes aimed at streamlining access and increasing value for players of Monster Hunter Wilds, promising a permanent price reduction alongside a complete overhaul of its digital offerings.

This strategic move involves discontinuing several existing bundles, including the Deluxe Edition, Premium Deluxe Edition, and the Cosmetic DLC Pass. Capcom is essentially streamlining the options available to new players, making the experience clearer and more accessible as we move forward into the game’s expansion.

But don’t worry—new opportunities are on the horizon. Starting on August 4th, Capcom will be introducing fresh bundles designed to cater to different player preferences. Most notably, the new Monster Hunter Wilds Gold Edition will package the base game with all cosmetic DLC released up to that point, offering a comprehensive package for those who want everything right from the start.

The real excitement lies in the expanded options for cosmetic content. Players can now look forward to two main bundle choices: the Cosmetic DLC Collection, which includes all ten cosmetic packs released, and the Extras Cosmetic DLC Pack bundles, offering a smaller selection of paid cosmetics previously sold individually.

Adding another layer of positive news, the base game itself is receiving a permanent price reduction. While Capcom hasn’t yet disclosed the exact new Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP), estimates suggest the base game will drop to around £50. If you recently snagged the game during the Steam Summer Sale, you likely secured a better deal than this new standard price.

This pricing adjustment is expected to roll out across all major platforms, including Steam, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, ensuring that the excitement for Monster Hunter Wilds is accessible everywhere.

While the business side of things has been adjusting, the community focus remains firmly on the gameplay experience. It’s worth remembering that the game launched to some mixed reception, with early discussions revolving around performance and design changes that split long-time fans. However, Capcom has consistently demonstrated a commitment to quality by releasing multiple performance updates.

These continuous improvements have paid off: English-language Steam user reviews for Monster Hunter Wilds have risen to Mostly Positive, reflecting the ongoing efforts to polish the experience and solidify the game’s reputation as a fantastic adventure. Now, it is time to jump in and enjoy the streamlined value of Monster Hunter Wilds.
