Greetings dinosaur hunters!

As we approach the end of 2025, we’re rolling out one more hotfix update. This patch focuses on addressing issues introduced in the recent 0.122 Aquatic Update. Thank you for all the reports and feedback - they were invaluable in helping us track these problems down.

• Fixed an issue where the SUP board could clip through the ground when deployed on land
  
• Added a map marker for deployed SUP boards to make them easier to locate
  

• Fixed an issue where Mosasaurus weight was not displaying correctly
  
• Improved Mosasaurus footprint visuals
  

Added new footprint graphics for the following species:

• Tyrannosaurus Rex
  
• Pteranodon
  
• Thalassodromeus
  

• Fixed an issue where Tyrannosaurus Rex trophies always displayed the best personal score
  
• Fix for not being able to play multiplayer. We had more players trying to play online than servers can handle, so we raised the server capacity.
  

Thank you for reading and we look forward to hearing you thoughts.

Greetings dinosaur hunters!

A new update is released just in time for the holidays! The update introduces aquatic hunting with Mosasaurus now available as a huntable species.
To support this, a new harpoon rifle, a SUP board for water traversal, and improvements to water behavior have been added.

Thanks again for your continued support and happy holidays!


Players are now able to damage Mosasaurus. Please note regular firearms don’t penetrate water. To hunt Mosasaurus we introduce a new type of weapon: harpoon rifle. When Mosasaurus dies its body will surface.
Mosasaurus can be placed on regular, and head stand in the lodge.



[h2]New Mosasaurus skin types[/h2]
Mosasaurus has now full set of seven skins from Common to Erythristic.



[h2]Mosasaurus AI update[/h2]
Mosasaur navigation and diving logic was improved to make hunting it more intense.


From the shop you can find new category Aquatic equipment. In it you’ll find a single shot harpoon rifle. Regular firearms bullets stop on water surface. Harpoons being slower and more heavier will penetrate water making them ideal for hunting aquatic or semi aquatic species. A new ammo type harpoons has been added for this new weapon.




SUP board is another aquatic class item. You need to put it in one of the equipment slots and hit left mouse button to deploy the board. Deploy it on water. You can pick it back to your inventory by looking at the middle section of the board and when you see the tex change to “pick” press E and the board will be back at your inventory.
In order to stand on the board you need to press E when looking at all other parts of the board than the middle. You’ll need to purchase the paddle too if you want to get anywhere comfortably. It’s possible to use the board without the paddle but then you’re able to move very slowly. Paddle is equipped in one of the equipment slots too.
Please note that the board will remain in the place where you left it when you die.




We have created a system that allows players to change poses on dinosaurs in lodge. Currently these species have different poses that can be applied:

• Tyrannosaurus Rex
  
• Ankylosaurus
  
• Carnotaurus
  
• Gallimimus
  

We’ll add more poses to other species later.




Three items were introduced to the lodge to give it a proper holiday makeup: Santa hat, present box and golden star

• Player stays more to the surface of the water while swimming
  
• Wake in water created by player is now less in front of player while swimming
  
• Fix for shallow water logic
  
• Adjusted ocean waves in Tenebris sea base
  
• Fixed Water hit effect to match hit position
  
• Water is now synchronized between players
  
• Ocean waves no longer cause player to stop swimming
  

• Capsule collider visualizer in map editor improved
  

The following species have some new sound effects especially for attacking: Allosaurus, Giganotosaurus, Sarcosuchus, Sinornithosaurus, Stegosaurus, Therizinosaurus, T-Rex

• Updated legendary rank T-Rex medal to match new design
  
• Fix for time of day synchronization and lighting not updating correctly
  
• Joining to other player game, now loads map asynchronously, and session is managed better to help issues with hard drive loading slowly the game
  
• improved Ashford lever-action in third person
  
• Improvement to Steam auth when reloading game immediately after closing it

Greetings dinosaur hunters!

Work is progressing on Prehistoric Hunt’s third official map - a new desert region featuring cacti, dunes, oases, and rocky canyons. Alongside the new environment, players will soon be able to hunt the Mosasaurus using an inflatable SUP board, sonar, and a new harpoon gun. Two new species are also in development: the horned Styracosaurus, with its model now complete, and the massive Diplodocus, which continues to take shape.

Thanks again everyone for your continued support!


Work is ongoing on the third map, which will take players into a completely new environment - a vast, arid region filled with cacti, dunes, oasis and rocky canyons. We are planning to introduce also new species with the map.








One of the most requested features is finally becoming reality - hunting the Mosasaurus.

Hunters will be able to deploy an inflatable SUP board along the shorelines. Using this new equipment, you’ll paddle out into open water and track Mosasaurus with the help of a handheld sonar device.
When the Mosasaurus surfaces, regular firearms can be used effectively - but we are also introducing a harpoon gun. This weapon will allow players to inflict damage below the surface.




We are developing ability to change trophy poses in the lodge.




The Styracosaurus is joining our game as one of the most distinctive ceratopsians ever discovered. Recognized by its massive nasal horn and a crown of six long spikes extending from its frill, Styracosaurus was a formidable presence in the late Cretaceous landscape. The new model has been completed with animation and texture work left.




Work continues with the Diplodocus model.
