In Yellowstone, a wolf’s world revolves around elk. While wolves may not care about aesthetics, we know that our players do, and that’s why we’ve been working on a new set of elk models.

These new elk will populate bigger and more realistic herds in the game, featuring not only bull and cow elk but also calves and “spikes” — yearling bulls who’ve just begun to grow antlers.
For even more realism, herd size and composition will vary from season to season. Herds are biggest in the summer, with cows and calves and a few spikes. In the fall, bull elk bugle and engage in brutal fights with each other to demonstrate their prowess and hopefully lead a herd. Yes, you will see elk fights! And throughout the year, don’t be surprised to come across small herds of bachelor bulls, biding their time. You’ll need to be especially hungry or desperate to take them on!
(And yes, the video gives you a peek at the new Amethyst environment, still in progress.)
