Hello, Hunters!

As we begin to wrap up 2023, we want to take the opportunity to thank you, our dedicated players, for being part of yet another fantastic year for theHunter: Call of the Wild. Thanks to your unwavering support, we’ve been able to reach new milestones, release exciting new premium and free content, and deliver improvements and features for you to enjoy.

2023 was truly a memorable year: we welcomed players to Emerald Coast Australia, our first-ever Australian map. The team has had so much fun seeing you go toe-to-toe with the Eastern Gray Kangaroo, and we can’t wait to hear more stories from your adventures in the land down under.

Hunting aficionados also got their hands on all-new content this year: Hunter Power Pack, Free Trophy Lodge, Ambusher Pack, Seasonal Events, and various Cosmetic Packs all brought something unique to the table.

Speaking of Cosmetic Packs, make sure to grab the free limited-time New Year 2024 Cosmetic Pack – available only between December 29 and January 8!



More recently, we were thrilled to welcome the adorable Labrador Retriever to the family. Fun fact: did you know that the top 5 most popular names for the dog are Jamal, followed by Pablo, Copper, Buddy, and Hunter? And can you guess which animal species has been retrieved the most? It may or may not share the same name as a certain country, that’s all we’re going to say…

With a fantastic 2023 coming to a close, and so much to look forward to in 2024, the team is dedicated to continue delivering engaging and memorable new hunting experiences for our global community of players.
