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 hunt, fight, and claim territory!
• Lost River (Classic): Explore the mysterious map from WolfQuest 2.7!

Slough Creek is now released! Establish a territory and raise a litter of wolf pups: feeding them, playing with them, and protecting them from deadly competitors.

We are now focusing on additional features for Slough Creek and co-op multiplayer mode where you can raise pups together,. After that, we will focus on mobile versions and the next episode, Tower Fall.   Learn more in the game FAQS and devblog!

With your purchase of WolfQuest, you get both WolfQuest 2.7 Classic and WolfQuest 3: 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)

• WolfQuest: Anniversary Edition raises the bar for realistic and accurate eco-simulation gameplay:
• Herds of elk roam the land in realistic herds, along with moose, mule deer, 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. Vast wilderness maps (nearly 50 square kilometers) depict Yellowstone's Northern Range.
• Dynamic day/night, weather, and seasons immerse you in the wilderness.

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.

Play the game alone or with friends

In single-player games, learn how to hunt elk, communicate with other wolves, find a mate in Amethyst Mountain.  (Amethyst Mountain is currently available in WolfQuest 3: Anniversary Edition early access and WolfQuest 2.7)

In Slough Creek, establish a den and territory, raise pups, and embark on a perilous journey to a summering site. (Slough Creek multiplayer is currently only available in WolfQuest 2.7 but is coming soon to Anniversary Edition.)

In multiplayer games) , explore the wilderness, hunt elk, and soon, raise pups with your friends! There are two types of multiplayer games:

• Private games: Allow only Friends and Packs.
• Public games: Anyone can join.
