Monster Hunter Armor Sets Now Inclusive for All

Monster Hunter Wilds: Gender-Neutral Armor Sets Arrive!

Prepare for a fashion revolution in Monster Hunter Wilds! Capcom has announced a groundbreaking change: armor sets will no longer be restricted by character gender. This long-awaited feature removes a significant barrier for players prioritizing aesthetics, creating truly personalized hunting experiences.

The Endgame: Fashion Hunting Unleashed

For years, the Monster Hunter community has yearned for the freedom to equip any armor, regardless of character gender. This limitation often resulted in players missing out on desired armor pieces simply due to their assigned gender. The news was met with enthusiastic celebration, particularly among "fashion hunters" who value stylish outfits alongside optimal stats.

No more will players be limited by restrictive gender-based design choices. The ability to mix and match armor pieces, previously hindered by gender locks, is now a reality. This change addresses past frustrations, where male armor leaned towards bulky designs and female armor sometimes prioritized revealing styles, potentially not appealing to all players.

Breaking Down Barriers: More Than Just Aesthetics

The impact extends beyond simple aesthetics. In previous games like Monster Hunter: World, changing character gender required purchasing in-game vouchers, adding an unnecessary financial hurdle for players seeking specific armor sets. This issue is now elegantly resolved with the complete removal of gender-locked armor.

Layered Armor and Expanded Possibilities

The anticipation is high that Wilds will retain the popular layered armor system, allowing players to combine favorite appearances without compromising stats. This feature, combined with gender-neutral armor, unlocks unprecedented levels of character customization and self-expression.

Beyond the armor update, Gamescom also revealed two exciting new monsters joining the hunt: Lala Barina and Rey Dau. Stay tuned for further details on these additions and other exciting features coming to Monster Hunter Wilds!
