North Hunt Devlog Debuts: First Look at the Viking Successor to West Hunt

September 2025 Newgen studio 

The hunt has returned but this time, with axes, longships, and Norse mythology-level drama. The developers of the multiplayer deception hit West Hunt are excited to announce the launch of a brand-new devlog video series for North Hunt, the Viking-era sequel that evolves the same hilarious chaos into a colder, sharper, and more strategic battlefield.

In North Hunt, players enter bustling Norse villages where they must complete covert objectives while hiding in plain sight. But there's a twist: human players are hiding among NPCs and others are trying to sniff them out before the deception goes too far.

This time, it’s Chiefs vs. Thieves, a deadly game of trust, disguise, and strategy.

North Hunt Devlog #1 | Viking Sequel to West Hunt – Gameplay Reveal & New Features

The devlog will give players their first behind-the-scenes look at how North Hunt is evolving; revealing exclusive gameplay footage, new features, and development insights.

What players can Expect:

  • Chief vs. Thief Gameplay Reveal: At its heart, North Hunt keeps the thrilling tension players loved: one must blend in, while the other hunts them down. Now reimagined as the Chief and the Thief
  • Overhauled Movement & Animation: Characters feel snappier, smoother, and more alive than ever before. Stealth and chaos come to life through fluid gameplay.
 
  • Class-Based Gameplay: Players can now choose from multiple roles, each with powerful abilities to disguise, deceive, trap, or escape. Every match plays out differently depending on class choice.
 
  • Revamped UI & Matchmaking: Faster lobbies, slicker menus, and new tools designed to get players into the action quickly, with far less waiting around.
 
  • Same Chaos, Viking Twist: The humor and unpredictability of West Hunt remain, now set in snow-covered villages filled with Norse flavor.

This devlog is the beginning of our journey to show players exactly how North Hunt is growing from West Hunt,” said Saif, Ceo at Newgen studio.
