Hello Hunters,

It’s an exciting day today, we have a two part PC release for you to enjoy!

First up we have our first small game animal to hit the reserves, the jackrabbit. The jackrabbit is the larger cousin to your typical cottontail rabbit, and prefers to live above ground rather than in burrows. Their sharp senses and lightning-fast speed are sure to give even the most experienced hunter a very new type of challenge!

Jackrabbits will be available to all players free of charge .

Our second part of today’s update consists of a new paid Weapon Pack DLC ($3.99/€3.99 or local equivalent). This new bundle contains a triple-threat of three new tools to fill out your hunting arsenal, the Virant .22LR Semi-Automatic Rifle, the Houyi Recurve Bow, and the Crosspoint CB-165 crossbow (and accompanying scope). From the snappy follow-up shots offered by the Virant, to the stealthy but hard-hitting punch of the Crosspoint CB-165, there’s all kinds of options available to you with these new weapons in your pack. And of course, there’s a variety of skins to choose from included as a part of the bundle.

We’ve had great fun putting together this new update, and we hope that you enjoy playing it as much as we have putting it together. As always, if you have any thoughts, comments, or feedback we would be very pleased to hear from you either on our Steam Community Hub or social media.


Happy Hunting,
theHunter: Call of the Wild Team
