WolfQuest: Anniversary Edition

WolfQuest: Anniversary Edition puts you in the role of a gray wolf in the Northern Range of Yellowstone National Park. Dispersed from your natal pack, you hunt, explore, find a mate and establish a pack of your own. Raise pups, help them survive and teach them to hunt, then watch them grow into yearlings and eventually disperse. Your wolf’s story can end with one life or continue across generations, until you die or choose to end it.

Life in Yellowstone

Explore realistic recreations of locations in the Northern Range, where animals roam meadows, sagebrush steppe grasslands, alpine forests and high ridges. Dynamic days and nights, weather and seasons shape life in the wilderness. Elk travel in herds alongside moose, mule deer, beavers and other prey; herds migrate, bucks and bulls spar during the autumn rut and shed their antlers, and cows and does give birth and raise their young.

Rival wolf packs hold and defend their own territories. Grizzly bears, cougars and coyotes also roam the landscape, competing for food and territory, challenging you for kills and defending their own.

Hunt and raise a family

Practice hunting elk, mule deer and moose, learning how each animal differs and what prey you can take on. Find a mate and choose a den as you establish territory. Feed and play with your pups while protecting them from predators. When your family outgrows the den, become nomadic and teach the pups to catch prey; the following spring, the yearlings can use those skills to help raise the next litter.

Wolves communicate through natural actions and vocalizations, and packmates and pups interact and play. Courtship interactions help you find and choose a suitable mate. A genetics system models the inheritance of each wolf’s genes, including eye color, physical and personality attributes, and coat color.

Multiplayer

Co-op multiplayer lets a group raise pups together for one game year, maintain territory against rival packs or spend time in a sandbox without a set objective. In a special two-player mode, you can build a pack and raise pups year after year until one of you dies of old age. Multiplayer games can be public, private to friends or limited to selected individuals or in-game pack groups.

Challenges and collectibles

Optional Ironwolf Mode makes each decision count, and death is permanent. The game also includes over 100 achievements and collectibles hidden across the map, including shed antlers, skulls and lost human items.
