Monster Hunter Wilds is breaking barriers by allowing players to equip any armor set, regardless of their character's gender! This exciting change, revealed at Gamescom, has sparked widespread celebration among fans and signifies a major shift in the game's fashion system.

For years, Monster Hunter players have longed for the freedom to wear any armor, irrespective of gender. This dream is now a reality! Capcom's Gamescom developer stream confirmed that armor sets in Monster Hunter Wilds will be completely gender-neutral.
A Capcom developer stated, "In previous games, male and female armor was separate. But in Monster Hunter Wilds, all characters can wear any gear."
The Monster Hunter community erupted with excitement, particularly among "fashion hunters" who prioritize aesthetics. Previously, gender restrictions severely limited customization options, preventing players from wearing desired armor pieces simply due to their assigned gender.
Imagine wanting a Rathian skirt as a male hunter, or the Daimyo Hermitaur set as a female hunter, only to find it unavailable. This frustrating limitation, coupled with often stereotypical gendered designs (bulky for male, revealing for female), is finally eliminated.
This issue went beyond aesthetics. Monster Hunter: World's gender change system, requiring paid vouchers after the initial free one, added an extra layer of frustration for players seeking specific armor looks.
While not officially confirmed, the likely inclusion of a "layered armor" system, allowing for cosmetic changes without impacting stats, further enhances player expression. This, combined with the removal of gender restrictions, opens a world of creative possibilities.
Beyond the gender-neutral armor, Gamescom also unveiled two new monsters: Lala Barina and Rey Dau. For more details on Monster Hunter Wilds' new features and creatures, see the linked article below!
