Capcom will give players 10 free Character Edit Vouchers and 10 Palico Edit Vouchers until unlimited appearance changes arrive next year.
- Publisher Capcom announced the retirement of the divisive Edit Vouchers in Monster Hunter Wilds, ending the microtransaction system that governed how players could alter their hunter and Palico appearance after initial creation.

- Monster Hunter Wilds' Switch 2 port arrives in December alongside quality-of-life updates, further supporting the game's momentum recovery after recent performance concerns.
