Over 200 million copies of the Monster Hunter franchise have been sold globally—and now, the hype for Monster Hunter Wilds is heating up in the cosplay world, too. Filipino cosplayer Een Mercado has brought the spotlight to the game in a big way by cosplaying Gemma, one of the game’s standout characters.

Cosplay isn’t just about wearing a costume—it’s storytelling. And Een Mercado nails it. Her recent Gemma cosplay captures every detail: from the rugged smithy apron to the weathered tools and distinctive accessories that fans will instantly recognize. It’s a faithful homage to a beloved character.

Photography for the shoot was masterfully handled by Moepix, while the striking makeup looks were a team effort by Nida Linn, Evangeline, Kolen Chii, and Gelo Grayson. The result? A cosplay that looks like it walked straight out of the game and into our timeline.
