Introducing Hunter Log

We are introducing the Hunter Log!

Though our intention for it is to give you timely information and updates, we have just wrapped up a very eventful and exciting year. In other words - it's a good opportunity to paint with a slightly broader brush and summarize!

End of the year recap

[h3]Way of the Hunter has been out for almost four months and with 2023 here before you know it, we thought it was a good opportunity to recap.[/h3]

We feel very fortunate to be home for such a passionate and positive community of hunters and we want to thank you for supporting us. Your feedback continues to play a big part in our vision for the game and we really do appreciate your voices. There is a lot more Way of the Hunter ahead and we cannot wait to tell (and show) you more in the near future. But enough talk, let's have a look at the recap, and do remind us if we missed any of your dream features!



Good hunting!
