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 significant change, revealed during Capcom's Gamescom developer stream, has sent waves of excitement through the Monster Hunter community, particularly among the dedicated "fashion hunters."

For years, players have been restricted by gender-specific armor designs, limiting their ability to create the perfect aesthetic. The frustration was palpable; wanting to sport a specific armor piece only to find it locked behind a gender barrier was a common complaint. This often resulted in players settling for less aesthetically pleasing options or, in the case of Monster Hunter: World, even resorting to purchasing additional character gender changes to achieve their desired look.

A Capcom developer confirmed the change, stating, "In previous Monster Hunter games, male and female armor were separate. I’m happy to confirm that in Monster Hunter Wilds, there’s no more male and female armor. All characters can wear any gear." This announcement was met with enthusiastic celebration online, with many players expressing their delight at finally having the freedom to express themselves creatively through their character's appearance.

The anticipated layered armor system, likely returning in Wilds, further enhances this newfound freedom. The combination of unrestricted armor choices and layered armor allows for unparalleled customization, enabling players to mix and match their favorite aesthetics without compromising stats.

Beyond the armor update, the Gamescom stream also showcased two new monsters joining the hunt: Lala Barina and Rey Dau. This exciting development adds to the already impressive roster of creatures awaiting hunters in Wilds.
