Capcom Lowers Monster Hunter Wilds Price and Replaces Multiple Digital Editions

The company says the move will reduce buyer confusion to boost uptake before the Ascendance expansion in 2027.

Overview

  • Capcom announced July 14 that it will retire the Deluxe Edition, Premium Deluxe Edition and Cosmetic DLC Pass and roll out three new bundles on August 3, 2026.
  • The studio said the base game will receive a permanent price reduction starting August 4, 2026, but it has not disclosed the new MSRP.
  • The new offerings are the Gold Edition, which bundles the base game with the full Cosmetic DLC Collection and premium bonuses, a Cosmetic DLC Collection that groups ten DLC packs, and an Extras Cosmetic DLC Pack that repackages select standalone paid cosmetics.
  • Capcom frames the changes as a way to simplify a confusing mix of standalone cosmetics and paid packs and to grow the player base ahead of the Ascendance expansion planned for 2027; coverage notes the move follows mixed critical reception and reported PC performance issues since Wilds launched in 2025.
  • Players are being advised to wait for the August changes before purchasing, the game remains available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC, and a Nintendo Switch 2 port is in development, which could affect sales and player counts before the expansion.
