Monster Hunter Wilds introduces a robust suite of Accessibility options, ensuring that players of all preferences and needs can fully engage with the game. Capcom has expanded its settings to cater to a variety of visual, auditory, and motion-related challenges, making the hunting experience smoother for a wider audience.

One of the most notable additions is Arachnophobia Assistance, which alters the appearance of certain Temnoceran creatures like Nerscylla and Lala Barina, a feature aimed at players uncomfortable with spider-like designs. Here’s a closer look at all the Accessibility features available in MH Wilds.

What Accessibility settings are there in Monster Hunter Wilds?

Players can configure Accessibility settings at the very start of their journey when creating a new save file. However, for those who want to fine-tune their settings later, they can be accessed from the title screen by selecting Options and navigating to Accessibility, which is positioned between Audio and Language settings.

Color Blindness Assistance

Since Monster Hunter Wilds relies heavily on color-coded mechanics like sharpness gauges, weapon buffs, and status effects, Capcom has implemented Color Blindness assistance to accommodate players with different types of color vision deficiencies. The available options include:

Trichromatic (No Assistance): No visual alterations.
Protanope Mode: Adjusts colors for red color blindness.
Deuteranope Mode: Alters visuals for green color blindness.
Tritanope Mode: Tweaks certain elements for blue color blindness.

These modifications ensure that crucial gameplay mechanics like Insect Glaive Extracts and Charge Blade Phials remain easy to distinguish, preventing players from losing out on vital combat strategies due to color limitations.

This is especially useful given the presence of Temnoceran monsters, allowing hunters to focus on combat without unnecessary discomfort.
