We're thrilled to announce the latest patch for Hunt the Night, packed with exciting changes and improvements. Here's a rundown of what you can expect:
New Content
Prime Hunt Mode
Prime Hunt Mode is now unlocked! Battle against final bosses with new attacks and increased difficulty in a mode where your time will be recorded. Plan and create your build before the fight and prepare for a truly deadly gaming experience. Don't forget to share your times with the community!
Each boss will be unlocked once you defeat them in the normal game mode.
Prime Hunt Collaborations
We are pleased to announce our first three collaborations with other indie games, including three completely new bosses from other games adapted to Hunt the Night. In this first pack, you'll find:
- Red Camerlengo from The Count Lucanor.
- Ice Queen from Lost Ruins.

We hope you enjoy these three entirely new battles and take a look at these three games if you haven't already!
