We're remaking the game from the ground up! Bigger and better gameplay, huge new maps, more animals!

Currently the Early Access game features:

• Episode 1: Amethyst Mountain: Learn to hunt and find a mate!
• Episode 2: Slough Creek: Establish a territory and raise wolf pups!
• Multiplayer: Form a pack with friends and raise pups, hunt, fight, and claim territory!

Learn more in the game FAQS and devblog!

With your purchase of WolfQuest, you get both WolfQuest 2.7 Classic and WolfQuest: Anniversary Edition (early access)!

IMPORTANT:

• The Free Trial is for WQ 2.7, not for the new Anniversary Edition -- which has higher hardware requirements than WQ 2.7 had, so please check those specs before purchasing. (We do not currently have a free trial for WQ: Anniversary Edition.)
• WQ: Anniversary Edition has significantly higher hardware requirements than the old game. Be sure to check them below before purchasing!

Live the life of a wild wolf

You are a two-year old gray wolf born in the Northern Range of Yellowstone National Park. You learned the ways of the wolf in your birth pack. Now it's time for you to learn how to live on your own, finding food, meeting other wolves, and searching for a mate. Ultimately, your goal is to find a home and build your own family.

Embark on a quest for survival

Your quest begins on the slopes of Amethyst Mountain and eventually takes you across the Lamar Valley to Slough Creek. There, you and your mate must  establish a territory and raise a litter of pups: training them, feeding them, defending them against predators, and finally taking them on a cross-country journey to a summer home. Ultimately, your success will depend on your ability to ensure the survival of your pack.

Experience Yellowstone National Park

Explore WolfQuest's realistic recreation of the Northern Range of Yellowstone National Park — "the Serengeti of North America" — where herds of elk and other ungulates roam the sagebrush steppe grasslands, alpine forests, and magnificent high ridges.

But watch out for packs of stranger wolves, who patrol their territories and don't look kindly on intruders. The wilderness brims with other dangers as well — grizzly bears, cougars, and coyotes — who all vie with you for territory and food.

Realistic Ecology and Gameplay (Anniversary Edition)

• Herds of elk roam the land in realistic herds, along with moose, mule deer, beavers, and other prey.
• Other wolf packs maintain and defend their territory against intruders -- like you.
• Grizzlies, cougars, coyotes, and other predators challenge you over your kills -- and protect theirs.
• Wolves communicate with each other using natural actions and vocalizations.
• Dynamic (family-friendly) courtship interactions allow you to choose a suitable mate.
• Adorable wolf pups who play with each other and with your wolf and mate.
• Vast wilderness maps (nearly 50 square kilometers) depict Yellowstone's Northern Range.
• Innovative Age Perks system models the arc of life (and death) of a wild wolf.
• In Ironwolf mode (optional), live life on the edge: your first death is your last.
• Dynamic day/night, weather, and seasons immerse you in the wilderness.
• Nearly fifty achievements, plus collectible objects.

Our science advisors include some of the top wolf biologists in the world today, who help us keep WolfQuest accurate to real wolf biology and behavior.

More Features Coming During Early Access!

• The WolfQuest Saga will continue the story of the pack! Leave your summering spot and follow the elk herds through the seasons, helping your pups learn how to hunt as they grow to adulthood. Then as the years roll by, raise a new litter of pups, with your yearlings helping before they disperse. (Learn more in this devblog, Where No WolfQuest Has Gone Before)
• Start a new game on any map, and as the years go by, move your pack to other Yellowstone maps anytime during fall or winter.
• Bighorn sheep!

Play the game alone or with friends

• Create a public game open to everyone or a private game for friends only.
