Thanksgiving Update

[p]Turkey season is here! Maybe you’re already thinking about Thanksgiving - the stuffing, the pies, the turkey. But before you ruffle its feathers, the long-requested turkey has officially arrived in Way of the Hunter, free for all players. Right now, they might be easy to catch (after all, we want everyone to have a turkey on their plate for Thanksgiving dinner!), but rest assured, they will be harder to hunt after the holidays.
[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Update 1.29.1 is now available on all platforms, bringing a small focused patch, adding turkeys to Nez Perce Valley & Matariki Park. Find their need zones to unlock more details in the in-game encyclopedia.[/p][p][/p][h3]Version 1.29.1 (Build: 171546) patch notes:[/h3]
