The expansive world of Monster Hunter Wilds showcases a seamless connectivity that one player decided to highlight with an impressive journey from the starting zone to the peaks of its later areas. Over on the Monster Hunter subreddit, user -BrotherPig- shared a video detailing their epic trek across the game's zones, starting in the Windward Plains and traversing through sand and dunes to reach the game's final locales. Be warned, the video contains spoilers for those who have yet to complete the campaign.

The journey, which spans an impressive length, underscores the interconnected nature of the zones within Monster Hunter Wilds. The only loading screen encountered is midway through the trip, transitioning from the Oilwell Basin to the Iceshard Cliffs. This long run, likely exhausting for the Seikret mount, demonstrates the game's design philosophy of minimal interruptions.
While Monster Hunter Wilds does feature loading screens in certain scenarios, such as entering the training grounds, fast traveling, or joining a friend's quest, the seamless connectivity of its world stands out. This feature has given players a newfound appreciation for the intricate corridors and passages linking the Forbidden Lands.
According to a series producer, the true magic of Monster Hunter Wilds lies in its compelling story, immersive gameplay, and cross-play capabilities.
