Monster Hunter Wilds Eliminates Gender-Locked Armor: Fashion Hunting Evolves
The long-standing gender restrictions on armor sets in Monster Hunter are finally a thing of the past! Capcom announced during the Monster Hunter Wilds Gamescom Developer Stream that the upcoming title will allow players to equip any armor set, regardless of their character's gender.
This monumental change has been met with widespread celebration within the Monster Hunter community, particularly among "fashion hunters" who prioritize aesthetics. Previously, players were limited by gender-specific designs, missing out on desired armor pieces simply due to their assigned gender. The frustration stemmed from the often stark differences in design philosophy; male armor frequently leaned towards bulkier styles, while female armor was sometimes considered overly revealing.
The impact extended beyond mere aesthetics. In Monster Hunter: World, a paid voucher system was in place for gender changes, forcing players to pay real money to access armor sets initially unavailable to their chosen character.
With high probability, Wilds will retain the "layered armor" system from previous installments, allowing players to combine appearances without compromising stats. This, combined with the removal of gender restrictions, unlocks unprecedented possibilities for character customization.
Beyond the armor news, the Gamescom stream also unveiled two new monsters: Lala Barina and Rey Dau.
