Hello Hunters,
We are very pleased to announce that Vurhonga Savanna is now available!
Vurhonga Savanna is the latest hunting reserve to be added to theHunter: Call of the Wild. After our addition of Medved-Taiga with its icy environment – it’s time to throw away the warm coat and encounter new animals such as the Blue Wildebeest, Lesser Kudu, Cape Buffalo and many more. Vurhonga brings a new reserve warden, Njabulo Tshabangu who needs your help to restore the reserve back to former health. New animals require new equipment, so check out the new .470DB KING rifle which comes with this DLC.
Simultaneously we’ve released an additional patch containing a list of bug-fixes and improvements. This is free of charge and you should be able to download it right now.
