Anderson said in an interview from set in South Africa that even though Artemis is an original character who never existed in Monster Hunter game, her armor and equipment will take direct inspiration from its original game franchise.
Take Artemis' chest piece for instance as the Odogaron chest piece takes reference from MH: World and its embossing designs are similar as well. Her unique outfit only means that she is an avatar of audience that can be customized with different sets.
