As the ultimate hunting simulator, Way of the Hunter 2's goal is to become the most authentic and advanced virtual hunting experience.

As the new hunter in town, you are recruited to take on a series of unique challenges that span two breathtaking environments and introduce you to a cast of memorable NPCs. In New Laurentia, you’ll team up with a skilled dog trainer and assist the former warden as you uncover the mystery behind the unusual behavior of the local moose population.

Hunting Dog: Bring your loyal hunting companion to support you while you hunt and track game.. It can search for animal signs, locate blood trails, and track down wounded animals. Your dog will learn and improve with constant exercise and training
New ways to hunt and explore: Place a tent for convenient fast travel, skip time or to wait out bad weather. With decoys you can lure birds and wait well hidden in placeable blinds.

Official update history
We've pushed Patch 0.3.1 for Way of the Hunter 2, focused on cleaning up several issues, including those introduced by the recent update. We've fixed the vehicle getting stuck and unexitable in several situations, and markers staying stuck on screen after fast travel. We know ballistics and animal lethality have been a major point of feedback for many, we're currently working on tweaking the flesh damage, and it'll go out once it's passed internal testing. We've also fixed several issues with gear and the encyclopedia.
We're aware there are still many open issues, and fixing them remains our highest priority.
Alongside the default branch, we've also pushed a new update for the Experimental branch that addresses several bugs for the multiplayer experience. Starting a multiplayer session could remove taxidermies made in single-player, that's now fixed, along with fixes for map selection, clients getting stuck while joining sessions, and improved performance and stability on the client side. If you'd like to join the Experimental branch with the first version of multiplayer, head over HERE for more info.
