Joy as Capcom Ditches Gendered Armour in Monster Hunter Wilds, a Series First | Push Square
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.
