PastMonster Huntergames have offered extensive customization options for both the player character and animal companions. The newest entry to the series,Monster Hunter Wilds, lets players create their Hunter’s look, as well as that of their Palico. But what about your Seikret?
Seikret customization in the open beta
When startingMonster Hunter Wilds, you’re met with elaborate customization options for your Hunter and Palico, but not your Seikret mount. You find a Seikret during one of the opening cutscenes, after which it becomes your trusty companion. This Seikret is green and purple and comes with a predetermined set of gear.
In theMonster Hunter Wildsopen beta, the Seikret is not customizable. you may change the appearance of your Hunter and Palico at any time, but not your Seikret.
Keep in mind that the open beta is just that: a beta. Players are only given access to a small slice of the full game. The full release ofMonster Hunter Wildswill be much bigger with lots of additional features.
Seikret customization in the full release
Despite what we can see in the open beta, there are many indications thatthe full release ofMonster Hunter Wildswill include some degree of Seikret customization. Some of the DLC bonus packs include special accessories for your Seikret, and one of thedeveloper showcase streamsincluded a striking red and yellow Seikret. During this stream, it was confirmed that not only can you dress up your Seikret, but you’re able to change its color too!
How exactly this will work remains a mystery. Perhaps players will find new Seikret mounts as the story progresses, or somehow gain the ability to dye their Seikret’s feathers. Some accessories can be bought in DLC cosmetic packs, but I expect other accessories to be obtainable via gameplay. All we know for now is that Seikrets can indeed be dressed up – it’s just a matter ofhow.
