How to Skip Cutscenes in Monster Hunter Wilds

Eager to bypass story sequences in *Monster Hunter Wilds*? While this latest installment features surprisingly deep narrative elements with compelling characters, some hunters prefer diving straight into the action. Here's how to fast-forward through dialogue and cutscenes when you're itching for a fight.

How to Skip Cutscenes in Monster Hunter Wilds

When cinematic moments start overstaying their welcome, simply hold the Y key (keyboard) or back button (controller) for roughly one second. Players using custom control schemes can press random buttons during a scene to reveal the skip prompt in the top-right corner.

An interesting feature allows pausing cutscenes mid-playthrough - perfect for when you need a quick break without missing key moments. Unlike previous Monster Hunter titles where cutscenes felt optional at best, *Wilds* integrates them meaningfully into the campaign. We suggest skipping only during subsequent playthroughs.

For those who change their minds, all previously viewed cinematics remain accessible through the menu system. This flexibility lets you revisit epic monster reveals or dramatic story beats at your leisure - particularly useful for capturing screenshots of breathtaking creature introductions.
