Capcom has announced a major shift for Monster Hunter Wilds, confirming that the game will receive a permanent MSRP reduction starting August 4, 2026. Alongside the price drop, the publisher is streamlining its confusing array of downloadable content by retiring three existing bundles in favor of a new, consolidated lineup.

Quick Facts

  • Price Change: Permanent MSRP reduction effective August 4, 2026.
  • Bundle Changes: The Deluxe Edition, Premium Deluxe Edition, and Cosmetic DLC Pass are being discontinued.
  • New Bundles: Capcom is introducing a Gold Edition, a consolidated Cosmetic DLC Collection, and an Extras Cosmetic DLC Pack.

What Is Changing With the Bundles?

The current store page for Monster Hunter Wilds features nearly 200 individual items, a reality that Capcom appears to be addressing through a significant reshuffling of its purchase options. The incoming structure aims to simplify the acquisition of post-launch cosmetics:

  • Gold Edition: Includes the base game and the new Cosmetic DLC Collection.
  • Cosmetic DLC Collection: Features content from the first four DLC packs, the Festival Accord DLC, the Deluxe Pack, and the new Extra Cosmetics DLC Pack.
  • Extra Cosmetics DLC Pack: Contains select paid cosmetic DLC previously sold only as standalone items.

The transition starts on August 3 or August 4, depending on your global region. The move effectively consolidates the messy spread of microtransactions that defined the game's post-launch storefront.

The Price Reduction

While Capcom has confirmed that the base game—currently priced at $70—will see a permanent price drop, the company has not yet specified the new MSRP. With the game sitting at the 18-month mark since its February 2025 release, analysts and players are looking toward previous Capcom titles for clues.

Dragon's Dogma 2 recently received a permanent price cut from $70 to $40, though that title had been on the market for a longer period than Monster Hunter Wilds. Given the timeline, a move to the $50 or $60 range is considered a likely outcome for Wilds, which has struggled to find consistent footing since its release.
