Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows, which released one month after Wilds on March 20, has its PS5 version priced at 3,900 JPY ($24.89 USD). Ghost of Y\u014dtei, a console-exclusive title that released later on October, currently goes for 4,000 JPY ($25.53 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u30ef\u30a4\u30eb\u30ba\u3055\u3093\u3001\u30ab\u30a4\u30c8\u30ea\u30ef\u30fc\u30eb\u30c9\u3067\u306e\u8cb7\u53d6\u4fa1\u683c\u304c18\u5186\u307e\u3067\u843d\u3061\u305f\u3093\u3067\u3059\u304b\u2026\u3055\u3059\u304c\u306b\u30ab\u30d7\u30b3\u30f3\u3082\u4f55\u304b\u624b\u3092\u6253\u3063\u305f\u65b9\u304c\u3044\u3044\u306e\u3067\u306f\u3002<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/nukC1IVyTu\">https:\/\/t.co\/nukC1IVyTu<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/s3NupGQTF0\">pic.twitter.com\/s3NupGQTF0<\/a><\/p>&mdash; VariAcc (@AccVari) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AccVari\/status\/2008853048819679710?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 7, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-palette-color-5-background-color has-background\"><em>Post translation: <\/em><br><br><em>Has the purchase price for Monster Hunter Wilds on Kaitori World truly fallen to 18 JPY?
