Why Early Access?

“We need your support and feedback to make this the best hunting simulation experience it can be! Way of the Hunter 1 proved that this journey is best when we build it together with the powerful and dedicated input from our community. Your feedback shaped the game into what it is today, and we’re bringing that same approach to Way of the Hunter 2. This time, we’re making sure everything is fully dialed in before launch. ”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We currently expect Early Access to last half a year. Because development time heavily depends on the community feedback we receive, the real duration can vary. ”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan to deliver a fully-fledged hunting simulation that includes; single player missions across multiple vast hunting grounds, several multiplayer modes, a large variety of high- and low-tech hunting equipment, a diverse array of customization options, over 10 real world brand partnerships, localization into many languages and much more.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state reflects the core gameplay experience with a detailed tutorial and the option to hunt and explore the vast Canadian hunting grounds of New Laurentia. It features a selection of rifles, shotguns, bows and game calls. A hunting dog helps you to find and track and wounded animals. Scopes with various magnifications and a monopod shooting stick support excellent aiming. Place decoys, blinds and use game calls to lure animals. Explore the very large map with your sturdy car and even place a tent for comfortable fast travel or fast-forwarding time.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes, the price will increase over the course of the Early Access phase. ”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“This game grows with you. We actively listen to community feedback across all our channels and are expanding opportunities for you to vote on upcoming features and content. We will utilize surveys, discussions, voting polls, and direct communication through our dedicated community team, to help shape our priorities. Your input will play a key role as we roll out multiplayer-focused updates and feedback rounds to provide you with the best possible multiplayer experience. ”
