Legs redacted

Spider dislikers, your concerns have been noted.

At least by Capcom, anyway.

The spider-free option was spotted by players of the PlayStation Plus beta test (as noticedby Automaton).

The description also notes that it won’t alter the difficulty or “creature movements”.

So how does it deal with eight-legged monsters?

Theybecome slimes, of course.

As Automaton note, so far only small monsters appear to be accounted for.

It’s not clear how larger monsters with spider-like legs will be altered, if at all.

What even counts as “spider-like” anyway?

Monster Hunter Wildsis not the first game to do this sort of thing.

Even this week,Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6came out withan arachnophobia mode in its zombies campaign.

you’ve got the option to get rid of the legs but keep the fangs, for example.

Or just turn it into a harmless pair of spheres.
