Skip Cutscenes in Monster Hunter Wilds: A Guide

For avid hunters eager to dive straight into the action in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, skipping the cutscenes can be a game-changer. While the game boasts a compelling narrative with well-crafted characters, the allure of the hunt remains the heart of the experience. If you're itching to bypass the dialogue and get to the thrill of the chase, here’s how you can skip cutscenes effectively.

Skipping Cutscenes in Monster Hunter Wilds

If you find the cutscenes dragging on a bit too long, you can easily skip them. To do this, hold down 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 a prompt will appear in the top-right corner of your screen, showing you which input to use.

It's also important to mention 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. You might want to snap a screenshot or two of your new favorite beast as it makes its grand entrance.
