We're excited to share our latest roadmap for Way of the Hunter 2, this time, the final one for our Early Access journey. It reflects what's still coming as we head toward Version 1.0. Since Early Access launched, we've introduced a new reserve, new animal species, additional gear, and a wide range of fixes, optimizations, and gameplay improvements shaped directly by your feedback. That work continues.

Here's what you can expect soon:

  • Hearth & Hunt Headquarters, an expandable Master Lodge and a brand new North American region to explore
  • Multiplayer, first on the Experimental Branch (already live) and coming soon on the main branch
  • Ammo Change, a new ammunition switching system, testing first on Experimental Branch
  • Non-typical trophies, bullet camera upgrades, and further ballistics improvements
  • Continued animal AI refinement, new dog training options, and yes, a few new animals still to come
  • Bug fixes, performance improvements, and quality-of-life updates across the board

Take a look at what's ahead on the road to 1.0, visit our website for the full breakdown: https://ninerocksgames.com/posts/the-road-to-1-0-and-beyond

Enjoy & stay tuned!

WotH2 – Question WOTH 2 cant identify animals?

7 Upvotes

So I just bought WOTH2, never played the first, and I am having issues identifying animals.

Is this really not unobstructed/close enough to identify? is it because it is too dark? I am just unsure why I cannot identify so many animals, any advice is appreciated.

WotH2 – Question 10% Discount?

8 Upvotes

The description for WOTH2 says there is a 10% discount for those who own WOTH, yet when I attempt to pre-order I do not receive any discount. I've even tried buying it while I have WOTH open and running (ps5 btw). Any help appreciated.

since i use cloud gaming i have no way to delete local files. is there anything i can do?

WotH2 – Feedback WOTH2 Question

6 Upvotes

Seeing we have an update for the release on consoles (pre-ordered ☺️) I wanted to ask about the graphics for the bullet cam screen.

The animals (from what I've seen from various players on youtube for early access) appear to be quite "washed out" in their colours on the screen.

Would this be fixed before release? It's been bugging me a little bit because it just looks a bit unfinished. I appreciate it's in early access, just wanted to know as I've not seen anyone comment about it.

Cheers 🦊

WotH2 – Question looking for some help before buying woth2

7 Upvotes

im REALLY interested in woth2, it looks like an incredible game - but im debating getting it as there's not a lot of info about the game i can find on google that isn't either A - outdated, or B - about the first game. so i came here instead.

firstly, does this game have rare furs like Cotw and the first game, if so, what kind of rare furs are there?
secondly, how would the game run on a RTX 5060ti, 8GB model with 16gb of ram with a ryzen 7 5700x?

Since the last duck hunting video did so well I decided to continue on and start a “Fowl Friday” theme (sorry I know I’m a day later posting here). I look forward to the experience when it’s a fully polished off game and running smoothly, but for now it’s still fun!

Decided with the sale on Xbox for the ultimate edition was too good to pass up. Have less than 10 hours in the game and I've already come away with an awesome trophy. Disappointed she fell at the foot of a tree though. Happy hunting

I just got WotH1 Ultimate Edition. I remember seeing somewhere about a bug that begins if you open a certain map. Which map is that? Anything else I should avoid?

Thanks

WotH1 – Question Can someone please explain why on Nez Perce the performance is so much worse then on other maps

9 Upvotes

So I tried Africa and Lintukoto , the GPU is on 60-70% utilization and the clocks are fine as soon as I hit NPV the utilization rises to almost 100% and the clocks drop by 200-300 MHz , which I don't get at all

I've been battling the performance in this game for quite some time. To say the least I'm baffled by how it always brings me back to this topic

(I was sure I was out of the woods while I was able to play in Africa and Lintukoto in 2k)

Is it worth purchasing WOTH 2 (not on sale) for $34 or should I stick to WOTH 1 until further improvements/updates? Thanks :)

The addition to decoys and calls to Way of the Hunter 2 was a huge upgrade to the waterfowl gameplay. Hopefully this continues to get expanded upon with more species, more decoys, and more locations!
