Are you eager to dive into the action of *Monster Hunter Wilds* without the narrative interruptions? While the game boasts a compelling story and engaging characters, we understand that some players are here primarily for the thrill of the hunt. If you're one of those players looking to bypass the cutscenes and jump straight into the combat, we've got you covered.
Skipping Cutscenes in Monster Hunter Wilds
If you find the cutscenes dragging on a bit too long, you can easily skip them. Simply hold down the Y key on your keyboard, or the back button if you're using a controller. You'll need to hold it for about a second. If you're using an unconventional control setup, try pressing a few buttons during a cutscene; the required input will be displayed in the top-right corner of your screen.
It's also worth mentioning that you can pause cutscenes if you want to ensure you don't miss any crucial details. Although previous *Monster Hunter* games might have had cutscenes that felt unnecessary, *Wilds* integrates them into the storyline more effectively. We recommend skipping them only if you're on a subsequent playthrough.
On the flip side, if you miss any cutscenes or want to revisit them, you can do so by navigating to the menu. This feature allows you to watch them at your leisure, which can be particularly useful if you're interested in capturing screenshots of the dramatic monster introductions. While this might disrupt the flow of the story somewhat, the cinematic quality of these scenes makes them worth revisiting.
