Monster Hunter Wilds Eliminates Gender-Locked Armor: Fashion Hunting Evolves
The long-awaited news is finally here: Monster Hunter Wilds will allow players to equip any armor set regardless of their character's gender! This groundbreaking change, revealed during Capcom's Gamescom developer stream, has sent ripples of excitement through the Monster Hunter community.
The Endgame is Fashion
For years, players have been restricted by gender-specific armor designs. The dream of mixing and matching any armor piece, regardless of its original designation, is now a reality. A Capcom developer confirmed, "In previous Monster Hunter games, male and female armor were separate. In Monster Hunter Wilds, there's no more male and female armor. All characters can wear any gear."
The response from the community, particularly among dedicated "fashion hunters," has been overwhelmingly positive. Players will no longer be limited by arbitrary gender restrictions, opening up a world of creative possibilities. The days of being unable to wear a coveted armor set simply because of its gender designation are over.
Imagine the freedom to sport the Rathian skirt as a male character or the Daimyo Hermitaur set as a female character – previously impossible scenarios. This change also addresses past frustrations with stereotypical gendered designs, often presenting bulky options for males and more revealing choices for females.
This update also addresses the previous Monster Hunter: World voucher system, where changing gender to access desired armor required additional purchases. While not explicitly confirmed, the likely inclusion of a layered armor system in Wilds suggests players can mix and match aesthetics without sacrificing stats.
Beyond the gender-neutral armor, Capcom also unveiled two new monsters in the Gamescom trailer: Lala Barina and Rey Dau. For further details on Monster Hunter Wilds' exciting new features and creatures, check out the related article below!
