Are you eager to dive into the thrilling hunts of *Monster Hunter Wilds* without the narrative interruptions? While the latest installment boasts a compelling storyline with well-crafted characters, the essence of the game for many lies in the hunt itself. If you're one of those players who prefer to bypass the cutscenes and get straight to the action, we've got you covered.
Skipping Cutscenes in Monster Hunter Wilds
When the cutscenes start to feel a tad too lengthy, you can easily skip them. Simply hold the Y key on your keyboard, or press and hold the back button on your controller. You'll need to hold it for about a second to bypass the scene. If you're using a custom control setup, you can press a few buttons during the cutscene, and a prompt will appear in the top-right corner, showing you which input to use for skipping.
It's also worth mentioning that you can pause cutscenes during playback. This feature is particularly useful if you want to ensure you don't miss any crucial story details. While earlier *Monster Hunter* games often featured cutscenes that felt somewhat unnecessary, *Wilds* includes scenes that are integral to the storyline. We recommend only skipping them if you're on a subsequent playthrough.
On the flip side, if you wish to revisit any cutscenes, you can do so by navigating to the menu. This allows you to watch them at your leisure, post-story progression. Although this might make the story feel a bit disjointed, it's a great way to appreciate the stunning monster introductions and perhaps capture a few memorable screenshots of your favorite creatures as they make their dramatic entrances.
