Monster Hunter Wilds Armor Sets Will No Longer Be Gender Exclusive

Monster Hunter Wilds is breaking barriers by allowing players to equip any armor set regardless of their character's gender! This exciting news has sparked enthusiastic reactions from fans and marks a significant step forward for "fashion hunting" within the game.

Monster Hunter Wilds Eliminates Gender-Locked Armor

Fashion Hunting Enters a New Era

For years, Monster Hunter players have longed for the freedom to choose their armor without gender restrictions. This wish is finally granted in Monster Hunter Wilds! During the Gamescom Monster Hunter Wilds Developer Stream, Capcom confirmed the removal of gender-locked armor sets.

A Capcom developer highlighted the change, stating that, unlike previous titles with separate male and female armor, Wilds offers complete freedom of choice for all players. The announcement was met with jubilant responses from the community, particularly among fashion-focused players who prioritize aesthetics alongside combat effectiveness.

The previous system limited players to gender-specific designs, resulting in missed opportunities to wear desired armor pieces. The limitations were particularly frustrating as male armor often favored bulky designs, while female armor sometimes featured more revealing styles than preferred by some players.

This issue extended beyond mere aesthetics. In Monster Hunter: World, for example, changing character gender required purchasing vouchers, adding an unnecessary cost for players seeking specific armor looks.

While not yet officially confirmed, Wilds is likely to retain the layered armor system from previous games. This allows players to combine their favorite appearances without sacrificing stats, dramatically increasing customization options.

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