WolfQuest: Anniversary Edition News

I know, I know -- we've been adamant about not announcing release dates... But we've decided that Slough Creek is in good shape now and just about ready to release, so here we go!

We're going to release Slough Creek for WolfQuest: Anniversary Edition on Wednesday, December 30, 2020. We're so excited to get the product of years of work into your hands at last.

But this is only the beginning. Still to come while the game is in Early Access are beavers, bighorn sheep, achievements, Slough Creek multiplayer, and some new features that we haven't announced yet. But we think that even this first release of Slough Creek offers plenty of fun and excitement. So mark the date on your calendars!

LAST CHANCE to purchase for $15!
With the release of the Slough Creek episode, the new price for WolfQuest: Anniversary Edition will be $20 for Windows and Mac.

The game includes:
• Amethyst Mountain
• Slough Creek
• Lost River Classic
• Multiplayer (Currently for Amethyst Mtn. and Lost River Classic. Coming soon to Slough Creek)
• Classic WolfQuest 2.7 is also included in your purchase.

Make sure your computer can run the game before purchasing it!

Five wolf coats are coming to WolfQuest soon! In the next update, you'll be able to choose from coats based on some of the past and present ambassador wolves at the International Wolf Center. The IWC has been a key partner in the development of WolfQuest from the very start in 2005, and we're delighted to feature five of their beloved wolves in the game. Today's devblog gives a preview of three of these new coats, based on Aidan, Boltz, and Grizzer. The two others will remain a secret until this update is released -- it's coming soon, along with Slough Creek!
