Monster Hunter Wilds continues to show why it will be the series’ pinnacle with devs confirming that they have removed gender restrictions from armor. There’s never a more exciting time to be a Monster Hunter fan than in the lead-up to a new release. That’s especially true now with Monster Hunter Wilds on the horizon.

Capcom is in the process of drip-feeding prospective players information about new characters , unique Monsters , and changes to the franchise’s iconic weapons . After a bit of a wait since the last major info dump, Gamescom 2024 has offered us a tonne of new details regarding Monster Hunter Wilds. Perhaps most exciting of all is a feature that Monster Hunter players have been begging for.

Monster Hunter Wilds devs have confirmed that it will be the first game in the series to do away with gender-restricted armor. “In previous Monster Hunter games, male and female armor were separate,” Series Producer Ryozo Tsujimoto began during the Gamescom 2024 Monster Hunter Wilds developer stream . “I’m happy to confirm that in Monster Hunter Wilds, there’s no more male and female armor.

All characters can wear any gear.” Veterans of the franchise will know that armor for male characters trends towards the bulkier side while female armor usually shows a little more skin. While not an issue for some players, fighting a fire-breathing Rathalos or poison-spewing Pukei Pukei with suboptimal protection does take others out of the action.

The new change allows.
