How to alter your appearance in Monster Hunter Wilds

      Capcom

      You can find countless tips and tricks regarding Monster Hunter Wilds for tasks like customizing your radial menu or collaborating with friends, but when it comes to character creation, you're on your own. Before even stepping into the game world or choosing a weapon to fight a monster, you are presented with numerous options related to your character's face, hair, outfit, eyes, ears, and more. While it's possible to spend a long time perfecting your character, if you find yourself rushing through the creation process to jump into the gameplay, you won’t be stuck with your initial choices. There are certain restrictions, but you can alter your character's appearance in Monster Hunter Wilds after starting the game by following these steps.

      How to Change Appearance

      Capcom

      You will need to play a little of Monster Hunter Wilds before gaining access to the appearance menu, but once you reach your base camp, you can change it as often as you wish. Simply enter the camp, navigate to the Appearance Menu located at the far right, and select Change Appearance.

      It's important to note that altering your appearance differs somewhat from modifying your character. The latter involves using consumable character edit vouchers and can only be accessed from the main menu.

      Below is a list of aspects of your character that you can change for free through the Change Appearance menu:

      - Hair

      - Voice Pitch

      - Demeanor

      - Eyebrows

      - Eyelashes

      - Mouth

      - Makeup/Face Paint

      - Innerwear

      - Eyes

      - Beard

      - Underwear

      Conversely, the following options are locked and can only be modified using a voucher:

      - Eye Area

      - Contour

      - Name

      - Skin

      - Nose

      - Body Type

      - Starting Armor

      - Voice

      How to Use the Wishlist in Monster Hunter Wilds

      The main cycle of Monster Hunter Wilds remains consistent with prior titles: hunting monsters, collecting materials, and forging or upgrading gear. This cycle is repeated many times throughout your journey as you take on increasingly challenging beasts alongside friends. In earlier games, you had to remember or jot down what materials you were missing for your next upgrade, but that's no longer necessary. The new wishlist feature, which the game doesn't effectively explain, is here to help. Here are key tips for utilizing the wishlist in Monster Hunter Wilds.

      How to Use the Wishlist

      To access the wishlist, start by speaking to Gemma at the forge. Choose to browse the new armor or weapons and locate the item you want next but don’t have all the materials for. From there, press the Sub Menu button to open a hidden list of options, allowing you to add the item to your wishlist.

      Sayonara Wild Hearts' Hypnotic New PS5 Mode is Worth the Double Dip

      Six years after its initial launch, Sayonara Wild Hearts returns, better than ever. As revealed during the 2025 Annapurna Interactive Showcase, developer Simogo's playable pop album has been released on PlayStation 5 as of today. This upgraded version of Sayonara Wild Hearts features exciting new additions, making it an ideal time to revisit this stylish gem or experience it for the first time.

      Before diving into the details of Sayonara Wild Hearts' PS5 version, let’s address some of the technical enhancements. If you already own it on PS4, you can upgrade your copy for free. The PS5 edition adds support for 4K resolution at 120 frames per second, enhancing the vibrant neon color palette. Simogo has also incorporated haptic feedback through the DualSense controller; however, in my experience, this feature felt somewhat lackluster. While there are a few vibrations that sync with the music, they don't fully utilize the more advanced adaptive triggers of the DualSense.
