Initial article covering the Wardrobe feature from the April to June 2026 Developer Roadmap
Wardrobe is one of four specialized storage containers announced in the Developer Roadmap April-June 2026 published by Pearl Abyss on April 9, 2026. It is a dedicated closet for wearable equipment, consolidating all Armor pieces into a single organized location. Players who collect multiple gear sets will benefit most from this system.
Wardrobe is designed for players who treat armor as more than a stat line. Endgame players swap between builds based on encounter type, collect cosmetic outfits from quests and events, and hold onto faction gear for roleplay and storyline reasons. All of that equipment currently competes for space in the Private Storage system and in the personal inventory. Wardrobe gives wearable equipment its own organized home.
The container is not a cosmetic preview UI; it is a storage category. Items placed in the Wardrobe remain fully equippable and are meant to be swapped in and out of the active loadout with significantly less friction than today's menus allow.
The Wardrobe container holds five categories of wearable gear:
Headgear: helmets, hats, hoods, and masks.
Armor: chest pieces and full body plate sets.
Gloves: gauntlets and hand wraps.
Footwear: boots, shoes, and greaves.
Cloaks: capes, mantles, and back layers.
Weapons are not stored in the Wardrobe. Primary and secondary Weapons continue to use the personal inventory or the standard storage system. This separation keeps combat gear and defensive gear in discrete categories.
Wardrobe addresses the inventory clutter caused by accumulating armor sets as players progress. Endgame players often carry multiple builds: a tanking set, a damage set, a stealth set, cosmetic outfits, and faction-specific gear. Without Wardrobe, these all compete for space in the Private Storage system. With Wardrobe, all wearable equipment lives in its own organized location, visible and sortable without scrolling past hundreds of unrelated items.
For players who invest heavily in fashion, the benefit is even clearer. Cosmetic outfits tied to events, faction reputations, and seasonal rewards are easy to lose track of when mixed in with functional gear. Pulling every wearable item into one dedicated space surfaces the full collection at a glance.
Clean separation of combat gear from other inventory items.
Faster outfit swapping for cosmetic purposes or encounter-specific builds.
Better visibility of owned gear for build planning and reference.
Reduced risk of accidentally selling a rare cosmetic or quest-reward piece.
Centralized browsing of every armor set in one sortable view.
Build swapping: a player with separate tanking, damage, and stealth sets can pull a full outfit from the Wardrobe without needing to dig through Private Storage slot by slot.
Fashion management: cosmetic collectors who chase event rewards and seasonal drops finally have a clean gallery of everything they own.
Roleplay kits: faction loyalists who keep multiple full outfits for narrative or screenshot purposes can shelve them here without sacrificing main-inventory space.
Between April and June 2026. Wardrobe is part of the gradual rollout of Developer Roadmap features. No specific patch has been confirmed by Pearl Abyss, and the feature may ship in the same update as the other three specialized storage containers or in a staggered release.
Pearl Abyss stated that names and details in the roadmap may change before release. The final capacity, UI, and category breakdown for the Wardrobe are subject to revision during development. Expect this article to be updated as the feature reaches its first public build.
