theHunter: Call of the Wild™ News

Hi all,

We are in the process of deploying a small hot-fix to yesterdays release. Please see the change below:

• Fixed issue with TRURACS antlers not being created correctly.
  

Note: Although no new instances of incorrectly scored (1000+) animals will be generated, some will remain on your map until they have been hunted. Once these have been harvested they will be removed from your animal population permanently. This is a route that is being taken to avoid us performing a population reset if at all possible.

Hello Hunters,

Hello Hunters,

As part of our last patch we have added Japanese as a language option in the game. This means that both the main game as well as all the released and future DLCs will have Japanese as an available text language.

Following the release of the game, we recognized that we had a passionate group of Japanese players supporting us in the community. As a thank you for their dedication, we hope that this Japanese language option will create an even more immersive experience for them.
