Dear hunters,
It’s been a while since our last Hunting Simulator 3 news. Today, we’re excited to give you a first look at the game’s second map: Texas!
Before diving in, thank you for your patience, your messages, and your feedback ; whether on forums, social media, or the official Discord. Development is moving forward, and your involvement truly makes a difference. If you want to support the project, don’t forget to wishlist Hunting Simulator 3!
A vast and living hunting ground
Texas is an iconic region for hunters. We wanted to pay tribute to its rich and varied landscapes. You won’t find flat, repetitive terrain here — but a real patchwork of ecosystems to explore.
Thanks to its massive scale, Texas stands at the crossroads of different climates and geographical influences. It bridges the gap between temperate and subtropical zones, as well as between the Eastern and Western United States. This unique blend gives rise to a wide variety of natural biomes, each with its own character and wildlife.
You’ll encounter the Gulf Coast Prairies and Marshes, crisscrossed by rivers flowing into the Gulf of Mexico, forming a lush and humid landscape. Further inland, the Blackland Prairies stretch across fertile black soils, covered in spring by the Texas Bluebonnet, the iconic blue flower of the state. Finally, to the west, the Trans-Pecos region unfolds as a more arid territory, with sparse vegetation, rocky plateaus, and a subtle mix of desert and woodland zones, all the way to the Pecos River that marks its boundary.
First screenshots
We know you’re eager to see what the map really looks like, so here are some in-development screenshots.
(🔍 These visuals are not final, but they already give a strong sense of the atmosphere we’re aiming for.)
Development check in
Development is progressing well, and the team is working to deliver the best possible experience for hunting fans, whether seasoned veterans or newcomers to the genre.
We’re not ready to announce a release date yet, but we’ll be sharing more, including the first gameplay footage, very soon.
What’s next?
The Texas map is just a taste of what Hunting Simulator 3 has in store. As you saw in Glimpse of the Wild #3, featuring Colorado, other environments are still in the works, each with their own ecosystems and features - and plenty more surprises to come.
What topic would you like us to cover in the next Steam News? Let us know in the comments or on Discord.
In the meantime, join us on Discord to follow development in real time, share your ideas, and chat with the team. This project is as much yours as it is ours.
Happy hunting! 🦌
