Eager to dive straight into the action in *Monster Hunter Wilds* and skip the narrative cutscenes? While the storyline in this installment is compelling with well-crafted characters, we understand the thrill of the hunt might be your primary focus. Here's how you can swiftly move past the dialogue and get to the heart of the game.
Skipping Cutscenes in Monster Hunter Wilds
If you find the cutscenes dragging on, you can easily skip them. For keyboard players, hold down the 'Y' key for about a second. If you're using a controller, press and hold the back button for the same duration. If you're using an unconventional control setup, press a few buttons during a cutscene, and a prompt will appear in the top-right corner of your screen, showing you the correct input for skipping.
It's also useful to know that you can pause cutscenes while they're playing. This feature is perfect if you want to ensure you don't miss any crucial plot points. 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 decide you want to relive those cinematic moments, you can easily do so. Simply navigate to the menu and access the option to rewatch any cutscene. This way, you can enjoy them at your leisure without disrupting your progress through the game's story. While the narrative might feel disjointed if you watch them out of sequence, some of the monster introductions in *Wilds* are truly spectacular. You might want to capture a screenshot or two of your favorite beasts as they make their dramatic entrance.
