Capcom knows what its audience wants and is giving it to them in Monster Hunter Wilds, promising some significant additions to the tried and true formula. Intriguingly, as was the case with Resident Evil Village's Lady Dimitriscu, the storied Japanese developer appears to have cracked the code regarding character design, as legions of fans are already gaga over Gemma the Smithy.
Spotted by QuirklessStoner on Twitter (thanks, GamesRadar+), Monster Hunter Wilds has a new tag on Steam: "Dating Sim", in addition to the expected "Action" and "Multiplayer". Tags on Steam are user-generated but are ordered by popularity amongst fans. That means many Monster Hunter Wilds fans are going out of their way to add this tag to the game, perhaps to manifest their heart's deepest desires. As far as we know, Capcom has not added dating sim elements to its eagerly anticipated next game.
As noted by IGN, Gemma was first shown off during last week's State of Play showcase, got about 12 total seconds of screen time, and delivered two lines, but that was more than enough for the gaming audience to become smitten. Predictably, a cottage industry of fan art and cosplay has already begun to spring up around the character. Take a trawl through the comments below to better understand what we're talking about.
Is Capcom on to something with its character design? Did you go on Steam and manually add a "Dating Sim" tag to Monster Hunter Wilds because of Gemma the Smithy? Take a chance on love in the comments section below.

Feels like those permanent pouty lips thing is getting overdone in games, think Ellie had that in TLOU, looking like some sort of beauty standard.
I'm not surprised if Capcom really add 'dating' feature for MH Wilds lol. I mean, Capcom seen people goes nuts when they can give presents for their waifus in SF 6. So why not do the same for MH Wilds.
Glad japanese devs are the complete opposite of western companies when it comes to designing characters.
She looks really great, but so does the handler character
Meanwhile I preferred the girl next to her in the trailer.
All these RE Engine girls are cute
^Ain't that the truth, lol.
@PuppetMaster dating feature in MH game? Yikes no thanks
@Nepp67 Yeah, makes me think about GoW Ragnarok or Horizon Forbidden West, they did a great job at creating repulsive female characters...
I don’t need to date her, i’m happy about having something pretty to look at. I’d request western devs take note, but I don’t think they care about what people want in this respect, they have their own politics.
@thefourfoldroot1 just the same words over and over again.
Capcom, take note of Stellar blade. I want 75 costumes for her, most of which show some cheek..... and dont change them with a day 1 patch. I jest 😂
The two girls look like they belong in Watch Dogs. I don't dislike the design, but I also don't think it fits monster hunter at all.
Getting a little FF15 Cindy Aurum vibe. Is this a playable character?
She's soooo cute!
@frankmcma she'll be making all of your gear, but you'll probably be able to make someone like her to play as.
@thefourfoldroot1 Or maybe they just have a different opinion about what "pretty" is. Or maybe female characters don't always need to be eye-candy. But you know, politics or whatever.
I hope they go the way of Sunbreak and make these characters party members you can bring along.
I loved hunting with all the cuties. 😁
Sounds like those fans need to go outside and try interacting with real women. Ah, who am I kidding? We know they'd never do that.
