Are you eager to dive straight into the action in *Monster Hunter Wilds* without getting bogged down by the narrative? While the game boasts a compelling story with well-crafted characters, some players just can't wait to get to the hunt. If you're one of those thrill-seekers, here's how you can skip the cutscenes and jump right into the fray.
Skipping Cutscenes in Monster Hunter Wilds
If you find the cutscenes dragging on a bit too long, you can easily skip them. Simply hold the Y key on your keyboard or the back button on your controller for about a second. If you're using a non-standard control setup, you can press a few buttons during a cutscene, and the game will display the correct input in the top-right corner of your screen.
It's also worth mentioning that you can pause cutscenes while they're playing. This feature is handy if you want to ensure you don't miss any crucial details. Although many cutscenes in previous *Monster Hunter* games felt somewhat unnecessary, those in *Wilds* are integral to the story. We recommend skipping them only if you're on a subsequent playthrough.
On the flip side, if you miss a cutscene or want to relive a moment, you can rewatch them through the in-game menu. This option allows you to enjoy the cutscenes at your leisure, rather than during automatic story progression. While this might make the story feel a bit disjointed, it's perfect for capturing those epic monster introductions or grabbing a screenshot of your new favorite creature as it enters the battle.
