News Joy as Capcom Ditches Gendered Armor in Monster Hunter Wilds, a Series First

[admin]

​

Monster Hunter Wilds will be the first game in the series' long history to ditch the idea of gendered armour sets, with Capcom confirming that "all characters can wear any gear". Predictably, this was met with rapturous applause and celebration from the Monster Hunter community. From what we understand, this doesn't mean that there will be fewer sets in total, with fans spying multiple variants of existing gear.

Word comes from Gamescom (thanks, PC Gamer), with Capcom revealing during a live-streamed presentation that exclusive armor sets are going the way of the dodo: "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."

The top-rated post on the Monster Hunter subreddit currently is titled "WE DEFEATED GENDER" and is full of fans gleefully planning to dress up in Capcom's upcoming, excellent-looking cooperative hunting game. Still no word on a release, sadly, but you can start planning which weapon to main.

Are you glad to see conformity in Monster Hunter Wilds' armour crafting scene? Will you miss having a reason to roll another character, perhaps? Let us know in the comments section below.
