The base game price of 'Monster Hunter Wilds' will be reduced by approximately 45% effective August 4.

Capcom announced today (the 14th) that it will lower the price of the base game for 'Monster Hunter Wilds' and discontinue sales of certain products as of August 4. The products being discontinued are the Monster Hunter Wilds Deluxe Edition, Premium Deluxe Edition, and Cosmetic DLC Pass. The various DLC packs and individual DLC items included in these editions will be available for separate purchase in the future.

The Monster Hunter Wilds Gold Edition will replace these discontinued products. This special value bundle includes the base game and a collection of cosmetic DLC, featuring the Deluxe Pack, four Cosmetic DLC Packs, four Seasonal Festival DLC Packs, and an Extra Cosmetic DLC Pack. Capcom describes this as a comprehensive package for players who already own the base game and wish to purchase all these DLC packs at once, as it includes paid DLC that was previously not part of the various DLC packs.

The most notable change is the reduction in the base game's list price. Currently, 'Monster Hunter Wilds' is priced at ¥8990 (approx. ₩80k) in Japan, which will be reduced by about 45% to ¥4990 (approx. ₩45k). While the exact price adjustment for the domestic market has not been finalized, it is expected to be in the 40k to ₩50k range, given the current list price of ₩84800.

Meanwhile, 'Monster Hunter Wilds' is set to release a major expansion, 'Ascendance,' in 2027. It will add a wealth of new content, including a story that continues from the base game, new fields, monsters, and hunter actions. Additionally, the expansion has drawn significant attention with the teased arrival of numerous Elder Dragons, a feature long requested by many hunters.
