ANOMALITH Character Customization: Outfits & Gear

ANOMALITH separates how Reona looks from how she performs. The official Steam page states plainly that outward appearance can be changed without affecting stats, so you can pick a look you like and keep your build intact. On top of that, an outfit is not purely cosmetic: the Nintendo Switch 2 listing describes outfits divided into 9 parts, each affecting stats.

That two-layer setup is the honest answer to "character customization" here. There is no free-form face or body editor announced; the supported scope is gear, outfits, and appearance swaps, plus weapon and equipment development built from materials you bring back from Dives.

Appearance vs. stats: two separate controls

The System Trailer (a five-minute systems video linked from Gematsu's ANOMALITH page) frames the same idea in gameplay terms: you can alter equipment appearance while keeping its base stats. In practice that means the appearance swap is your fashion tool and the nine-slot breakdown is your actual loadout — don't treat "transmog-style" appearance choices as a way to gain stats.

What "9 parts" likely covers in practice

The Switch 2 listing says outfits split into nine parts and that the nine-slot equipment set (backpack included) drives defense and resource-gathering efficiency; the System Trailer says to prioritize those upgrades early. Both descriptions point at the same design: a slot-based gear grid where defense and gathering matter and where appearance can be decoupled from those numbers.

Because the full release lands October 28, 2026 (per the Steam page), and demos have been running since mid-2026, treat the exact slot names as not yet publicly enumerated. The Steam page and Nintendo listing describe the system, not a labeled menu of nine items.

Outfits that are confirmed as content

• "Armed Schoolgirl" outfit triple combo — three sets, including two color variations, in the Digital Deluxe Edition (Steam page).
• Demo unlock — the October 7, 2026 Steam update says clearing the demo lets you develop one of the three Armed Schoolgirl sets.
• Lost Property Control Organization collaboration costume set — part of the early purchase bonus, claimed from the Workshop board after the collaboration side mission (Steam page).

Pre-order outfits may vary by platform: according to anomalith-wiki.wiki, the PS5 standard edition bundles a blue casual punk outfit while the Switch 2 version carries a red one. That is a community roster page's account rather than store copy, so check your own region's listing before counting on a specific outfit.

Weapon and equipment development

Customization is not only cosmetic. The Steam page and trailer describe using Anomalous Objects collected in Zones to develop and upgrade weapons and gear, with firearm customization presented as a core loop on the Switch 2 listing. Artifacts recovered from Zones give passive effects when equipped before a Dive, per the System Trailer, and Anomalization skills can also be strengthened with collected objects — improving health and the energy needed to use skills.

A practical reading of the trailer: bank defensive and gathering-oriented gear upgrades before chasing firepower, since those feed your whole run.

Where the character roster fits in

Customization is about Reona's kit; the cast defines who supports it. Reona Minazuki (voice: Hitomi Ueda) is the playable Diver. Around her are Office staff — Yuiga Koda (Operator, Riho Sugiyama), Kyoka Sudo (Chief, Keiko Watanabe), Imari Fushimi (Head of Research, Shion Wakayama), May Hibiya (Security, Hikari Kubota) — plus Arisa Kato (Natsumi Haruse), Kaede Mori (Natsumi Fujiwara), and the unnamed Girl. According to anomalith.wiki, Arisa is affiliated with Koin Girls' Academy; the Steam copy only calls her Reona's best friend, so keep that affiliation as community detail.

Platform and version notes

The official Steam page lists Windows and a release date of October 28, 2026. It is not the place to look for console availability. The Nintendo Switch 2 listing (published by Clouded Leopard Entertainment) does show ANOMALITH for that console at 29 October 2026, and Gematsu's announcement coverage names PS5, Switch 2, and PC. So customization features described here are platform-independent in the sources; menus and slot layouts will be checked properly once the release build is broadly documented.

FAQ

What is character customization in ANOMALITH?

It is a gear-and-outfit system rather than a face editor: a nine-part outfit set whose pieces affect stats, plus an appearance swap that leaves those stats alone, backed by weapon and equipment development.

Can I change Reona's look without losing stats in ANOMALITH?

Yes. The Steam page and System Trailer both say appearance can be changed without affecting stats, so the cosmetic layer and the stat layer are separate.

How many outfit parts does the customization system use in ANOMALITH?

The Nintendo Switch 2 page for ANOMALITH describes nine parts, each affecting stats; the System Trailer describes gear development across nine slots as well.

Is character customization in the ANOMALITH demo?

The demo gives you a taste: the October 7, 2026 Steam update says clearing it lets you develop one of the three Armed Schoolgirl outfit sets. Full outfit coverage is tied to the full game and Deluxe Edition contents.
