With this, you will be led back into the character customization menu, and besides gender, you can freely change any aspect of your character, from their hair to their skin and even their voice.

Players can also change their body type; however, this is not a free service, and you will have to pay to buy the Character Edit Vouchers from Steam. You can still get one for free via Steam, so make sure to redeem it while it’s available.

One Voucher costs $2.99 and to redeem it, you can head to your character save file, where you will see an option to redeem the voucher. Once you do this you will be led back into the character creation menu where you can change any aspect of your character freely except their name.

As of writing this, there is no way to change your character’s name in Monster Hunter Rise.

You can also freely change the appearances of your buddies. Simply head to one of the Buddy Boards totems found across the village and interact with any one of them.
