If you're eager to dive straight into the action of *Monster Hunter Wilds* without getting bogged down by cutscenes, you're in luck. This latest installment in the iconic series offers a compelling narrative with engaging characters, but we understand the allure of the hunt is what drives many players. Here's how you can skip those cutscenes and get to the heart of the game: violence and adventure.
Skipping Cutscenes in Monster Hunter Wilds
If you find the cutscenes a bit too lengthy, 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 necessary input in the top-right corner of the screen.
It's also worth mentioning that you can pause cutscenes if you want to soak in the details without missing anything. While previous *Monster Hunter* titles might have had cutscenes that felt unnecessary, *Wilds* integrates them more deeply into the storyline. We suggest skipping them only if you're on a subsequent playthrough and already familiar with the plot.
On the flip side, if you miss a cutscene or want to relive a moment, you can revisit them through the in-game menu. This feature allows you to watch them at your leisure, which can be especially useful if you want to capture screenshots of the stunning monster introductions. Although watching cutscenes out of context might feel a bit disjointed, the visual spectacle of these moments makes it worthwhile.
