Ironwolf is a new game mode coming in the next update of WolfQuest: Anniversary Edition! This is a hardcore mode for players who really want to live the life of a wild wolf, always one false move or unlucky kick away from death. As an ironwolf, you only live once!
You can select Ironwolf mode only when creating a new wolf. Then, when you start a new game with an ironwolf, only Challenging and Accurate difficulty levels are available options. (Playing Ironwolf on Easy would be rather silly.) From that point on, you can have only one save file. The game auto-saves every two minutes, and you can manually save as well, updating that single autosave. If your ironwolf survives the entire Slough Creek arc, you can start a new game in Amethyst Mountain or Slough Creek to continue it's life for another year. But if it dies, it is dead. Dead dead dead. You can visit it again in the My Wolves carousel, but you cannot start a new game with it.
We expect to release this update later in April, and it will include Ironwolf, beavers, and another exciting new feature that we have not yet announced. Stay tuned!
