Monster Hunter Wilds Armor Sets Will No Longer Be Gender Exclusive

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 is a victory for "fashion hunters," players who prioritize aesthetics alongside, or even above, raw stats. Previously, the inability to wear desired armor due to gender limitations was a significant frustration. The disparity between often bulky male armor and sometimes revealing female armor further exacerbated this issue.

The impact extends beyond simple aesthetics. In Monster Hunter: World, changing character gender required purchasing in-game vouchers, adding an unnecessary financial hurdle for players seeking specific armor styles.

With the likely continuation of the "layered armor" system from previous games, players can now freely combine their favorite looks without compromising stats. This, coupled with the removal of gender restrictions, unlocks a vast potential for self-expression and character customization.

The excitement within the Monster Hunter community is palpable, with many celebrating this inclusive change as a significant step forward. The phrase "WE DEFEATED GENDER" aptly captures the celebratory mood online.

Beyond the armor update, the Gamescom stream also revealed two new monsters joining the hunt: Lala Barina and Rey Dau. For further details on Monster Hunter Wilds' new features and creatures, explore the linked article.
