Monster Hunter Wilds Eliminates Gender-Locked Armor

Fashion Hunting Enters a New Era

A long-held wish of Monster Hunter players—the freedom to wear any armor regardless of gender—has finally been granted! During Gamescom's Monster Hunter Wilds Developer Stream, Capcom confirmed this significant change for the upcoming game. All armor sets will be universally accessible.

A Capcom developer confirmed the news, stating that unlike previous titles with separate male and female armor, Monster Hunter Wilds offers complete freedom of choice. This announcement was met with enthusiastic celebration online, with many players expressing their excitement. The change is especially significant for "fashion hunters," who prioritize aesthetics alongside, or even above, raw stats.

Previously, the inability to wear desired armor due to gender restrictions was a major drawback. The limitations often resulted in players missing out on favorite pieces simply because of their assigned gender category. For example, male players couldn't wear certain skirts, and female players were limited in their access to bulkier, more protective designs. This often led to frustration, as aesthetic preferences didn't always align with gender-specific armor options.

The limitations extended beyond mere aesthetics. In Monster Hunter: World, changing gender required purchasing in-game vouchers, adding an extra cost for players seeking specific armor styles.

While not yet officially detailed, the likely inclusion of a "layered armor" system, similar to previous games, suggests players can mix and match appearances without compromising stats. This, combined with the removal of gender restrictions, unlocks a vast potential for character customization and self-expression.

Beyond the gender-neutral armor, the Gamescom stream also revealed two new monsters: Lala Barina and Rey Dau. For further details on Monster Hunter Wilds' new features and creatures, refer to the linked article below.
