You could read hundreds of tips and tricks on Monster Hunter Wilds for things like customizing your radial menu or playing with friends, but you are left to your own devices when creating your character. You have a ton of options thrown at you before even setting foot in the world, let alone picking your weapon and fighting a monster, such as your face, hair, clothes, eyes, ears, and more. You could spend hours making the perfect character, but if you get a bit impatient and end up skipping over most of it so you can get to the game, you’re not stuck with what you have. There are some limitations, but this is how you can change your character’s appearance in Monster Hunter Wilds after starting the game.

You will need to play a bit of Monster Hunter Wilds before you can access the appearance menu, but once you can visit your base camp you can freely do it as many times as you like. All you need to do is go inside, tab over to the Appearance Menu on the far right and select Change Appearance.

It needs to be noted that changing your appearance is slightly different than editing your character. The latter requires the use of consumable character edit vouchers and has to be accessed from the main menu.

This is a list of all the aspects of your character you can change from the Change Appearance menu for free:

  • Hair
  • Voice Pitch
  • Demeanor
  • Eyebrows
  • Eyelashes
  • Mouth
  • Makeup/Face Paint
  • Innerwear
  • Eyes
  • Beard
  • Underwear

These options, on the other hand, are locked and can only be changed if you use a voucher:

  • Eye Area
  • Contour
  • Name
  • Skin
  • Nose
  • Body Type
  • Starting Armor
  • Voice

Ubisoft has confirmed that it will share Ghost Recon news on August 6, when the series celebrates its 25th anniversary.

The AI game-dev boom has a dark side: fewer jobs for the people starting out
Solo creators are thriving with tools like Claude Code and Copilot, but entry-level game roles are disappearing.

AI is making it easier than ever for a single person to build a game. That sounds like a win for creativity, and in many ways, it absolutely is. But there is a catch. As generative AI tools help solo developers and small studios do more with fewer people, the same shift is making life tougher for writers, artists, concept creators, and junior programmers trying to break into the gaming industry.
