In Monster Hunter Wilds there will be no pay-to-win items, only cosmetic ones. The producers of the game have now confirmed that this will also remain the case for the DLC.
What are pay-to-win items? Many modern games have an in-game shop where real money can be spent or exchanged for in-game currency. Some items give players a significant advantage in the game. This is why they are called pay-to-win or pay2win items, as one must pay real money to win in the game.

Interview with the creators of Monster Hunter Wilds
What kind of interview is this? In an interview on YouTube with content creator Rurikhan, game director Yuya Tokuda, producer Ryozo Tsujimoto, and executive art director Kaname Fujioka were guests. They were questioned about the upcoming Monster Hunter Wilds. Various questions related to development, favorite weapons, and the future of the game were raised.
What did the creators say in the interview about pay2win? The question of whether the paid DLC of Monster Hunter Wilds would still only include cosmetic items was answered by producer Ryozo Tsujimoto. He kept it brief: “We will remain true to our course.”
Monster Hunter Wilds will have a paid DLC; however, it will only contain cosmetic items that do not provide players with any advantage in the game. This gives players the opportunity to decide if the character’s appearance is important enough for them to spend real money on customization.
The release of Monster Hunter Wilds is eagerly awaited. Players are particularly looking forward to the vast world where various monsters can be hunted. Players demonstrate how gigantic the maps in Monster Hunter Wilds are: “More impressive than I thought”
