One Million Hunters. One Epic Journey: Way of the Hunter

Bratislava, Slovakia / Vienna, Austria - June 10th: We’re proud to announce a major milestone: Way of the Hunter has officially sold over 1,000,000 copies since its launch in August 2022. This isn’t just a number - it’s a reflection of your support, feedback, and shared passion for immersive, ethical hunting.

From day one, your input has shaped the game. Together, we’ve expanded the experience with new maps, gear, mechanics, and features - always grounded in realism and community feedback. Whether you're tracking through Aurora Shores or navigating the wilds of Lintukoto, every step forward has been guided by you.

Now, it’s time for a new challenge: The Night Hunting Pack DLC launches tomorrow, June 11th, 2025. One of the most-requested features since launch, nighttime hunting introduces a whole new dimension to the wilderness. This pack delivers specialized tools and refined mechanics to capture the tension, thrill, and strategy of hunting after dark. Carefully crafted to feel immersive and authentic, it’s designed to push your skills in new ways.

Some of our trusted creators already had a first look, so tune in to see the new DLC in action, before it is available.
