"Monster Hunter Wilds: 9-Minute Seikret Trip Reveals World Connectivity"

The expansive world of Monster Hunter Wilds is not just vast but impressively interconnected, as demonstrated by one player's remarkable journey. Over on the Monster Hunter subreddit, user -BrotherPig- shared a captivating video that chronicles their trek from the starting zone, the Windward Plains, across various zones, all the way to the peaks of the game's later areas. This journey, filled with sandy dunes and diverse locales, showcases the seamless connectivity of the game's zones. Be warned, though—spoilers lie ahead if you haven't yet reached the end of the campaign.

The video highlights a 9-minute journey that spans the entire game with only one loading screen encountered halfway, as the traveler moves from the Oilwell Basin into the Iceshard Cliffs. This long trip underscores the impressive link between zones, allowing for a nearly uninterrupted exploration experience. Although Monster Hunter Wilds does feature loading screens for entering training grounds, fast traveling, or joining a friend's quest, the seamless connectivity between main zones is truly fascinating and adds a new level of appreciation for the game's design, particularly the intricate corridors and passages connecting the Forbidden Lands.

Whether you're drawn to the story, the exploration, or the multiplayer aspects, Monster Hunter Wilds offers plenty to keep players engaged until the first Title Update arrives in April.
