The new pup models look so good, I can’t believe we’re finally at the stage of seeing the older pups. You guys are doing amazing ❤

[@Fuzzfloof]

I could not agree more

[@Vodka._.]

Just smaller adults

[@karnohell]

@@Vodka._. it's likely that there will be some sort of variation for the pup models, probably a lot lankier and just a bit shorter than the adults

[@wolf_quest_girl9326]

Why can the pups get sick but the Adult can’t

[@EchoDesigns]

@@wolf_quest_girl9326just like real life baby animals are more likely to get sick than adults due to their immune system not being as strong as a adult.

[@Dinoboots]

The pups just running in circles while you’re taking down the elk is adorable!!

[@gordonfangirl5185]

I wonder if the personality of the pup will shine a lot more in the hunting.

[@Iseenothingo]

@@gordonfangirl5185it might, like there may be a few pups who are cautious of the elk, while others are just going right for it, and then the one who has absolutely no idea what their doing.

[@JayPlays535]

Oh I was not expecting saga previews but yooooo I'm so excited!! The new dynamic pack system sounds incredible too, I cannot wait to check it out. And oooo, a new map? It sounds like we're going to have a ton of exploring to do in the future... I might have to make sure we have enough wayfinders! 😂

[@mysteriouswolven]

I like how lanky the "teenage" wolves look. It made me wonder if it would be possible to have adult wolves look less fluffy in the summer, and more fluffy in winter like real wolves. Even cooler if we could watch our winter coat blow out in tufts here and there during spring. Wolves can look really scraggly around that time and it would be fun to see your character go through those seasonal changes. Haha.

[@TheSpiderOfRome]

This game has honestly been life changing. I never realized that in the saga rival packs would move in and out as the years went by. That’s such a cool and realistic feature, I’m so excited for it to be released! Also, I can’t wait for Hellroaring Mountain! Hellroaring Pack is one of my favorite historical Yellowstone packs!

[@Aymer]

Seeing that we are already at the stage of older pups makes me so happy, thank you devs for all the hard work!

[@scarlettemurphy175]

Sad to hear about Tower Fall but I’m so grateful for your reasoning to set it aside and I’m excited about the new map. And oh my goodness hunting with the pups already looks so exciting, I can’t wait to see more!

[@lionguardfan2019]

Given that the shown map we got here has Tower Fall on it literally right outside the south bordering of Hellroaring Mountain range, not unlikely it won't still be continued. Their focus right now is Saga, so an area between the maps (Lost River is it's own world)

[@scarlettemurphy175]

You had me at the thumbnail with the player wolf running alongside their pups Also the silhouettes of the two wolves discussing the goings on in the neighboring packs is too good.

[@RopeDad1]

I started playing wolfquest when I was 13. Now at 20, you guys are announcing this. I’m crying. I’m so excited, I’m so proud of you guys! I was always so upset that when the pups got to the rondevouz site the game was practically over. Thank you guys so much for your extremely hard work.

[@ZebraSmiley]

This video revealed so many new things in store for us! I was really not expecting another map but I'm so excited for it now!

[@geministrial950]

So excited for this next step! Oh, watching this game evolve has been such an inspiring ride, i cant believe we're finally so close to something that seemed so distant long ago! Thank you, team. For everything you do everyday so you can give us an amazing game.

[@LittleCatLady]

I cannot believe this game came soooo far! Its amazing seeing how they develop, the energy that comes when thinking about the beauty of this game, being excited about everything and going "OOO CANT WAIT TO TEST IT OUT!!!" I myself have been waiting a long time to get the game, and now I am about to, even more ecxiting for me!!!❤😃

[@Bonniethebunny]

I know the full saga is still a long ways off, but seeing how far along it is, i'm so excited! The whole wolfquest team is so amazing, and thank you so much for keeping us all updated on the development progress. I love the idea of dynamic packs as well, and also finally seeing the pups in action during a hunt, i just.. it's so exciting! I'm excited and i can't wait! Of course, no rush. This takes time, but i am so excited to see the full saga

[@FirecrackerTNT]

AAA this is so exciting omggg!!! Finally seeing the older pups is like, making me oddly emotional LMFAO these lil guys are finally gonna grow up with us!!! Thank you so much to the team for working so hard on this ^w^ I Iove the pack update too!! This is gonna be so amazing!!

[@nighttimeserenity2447]

Confusion and misunderstandings had WQ make us another map. Stay confused folks! We got extra content hell yes! My inner WolfQuest is very happy right now.

[@adventurewolf1779]

This is really cool I think the fact the pups can choose if they wanna stay with you is the best part as it allows you to form stronger bonds with you’re pack and you get to see the personality of the pup clearly. Very excited .

I verbally gasped when he said that they were working on another map, I'm so excited, the maps are my favorite DLC!!

Ahhh, watching them weave in and out and run in circles because they lack confidence is such a mood, and is really really neat! I'm super excited.

[@Hailstorm_12]

I havent been here for very long. Only since January, and since then i've been in love with this game. Watching all the dev blogs was even in interest! From the way it started, to the amazing , loyal community it built even before the game even launched. Many people who have been with the game since the start, still are here and that just shows how much the community is devoted and undyingly loyal. The game they built now has a bright future ahead, as long as you guys dont randomly quit with our money! ( Really doubt that since you guys have come so far with such an amazing community) and I look forward to the saga. Thank you guys for devoting yourself into a realism based simulation game thats not too realistic to the point its gross or not fun anymore, and creating the perfect balance of failure and success.

[@blkdrgncap]

I am absolutely thrilled with the progress and growth Wolfquest has had. Can't wait for the saga update!

[@witchyfirbolg]

It’s been such an honor and a pleasure to follow the development of this game since I was just a kid. Thank you for bringing us along on your dev blog journey, I always click them as I see them!! It’s the highlight of my week each time 💜💕

[@pickledegg404]

Ive been playing this game since I was in 1st grade. Im 21 and grown now, and its been such a privilege to watch the game grow and develop. Keep up the amazing work ❤

[@letalbe]

oh my god im so excited!!! can't wait for this update also, is there any chance the pups stick around for life? so the pack gets bigger like the rival packs maybe?

[@WolfQuestGame]

Some pups may choose to stay with their natal pack, at least for a time.

[@haileyrodgers1679]

​@@WolfQuestGame i think it would make sense for there to be a small chance that some wolves stay until the parents die, since that does happen irl(though usually because the parent isn't long-lived). And if that happens, it would be amazing to have the option of switching to one of your pups as the playable character for a seamless experience. Like if your wolf dies, a pop-up appearing where you can choose which adult pup you could play as, then you continue playing in the same save file.

[@letalbe]

@@haileyrodgers1679 omg yes! the pack would never die

[@mariahmint8650]

I've been playing this since I was younger and now I've convinced my fiance to play with me! (Currently we only have 1 pup named Sam😭Rival wolves got to our others, so we fight to keep that little guy kicking.) We're extremely excited!!!! New maps! And the hunting is so cute! Yall are doing an amazing job!!!! Keep up the great work!!

[@virginiad.1911]

SOOOO excited for the saga! Great to see the pups up and at 'em!

[@joymersmann9853]

I am so so excited for the persistent/dynamic rival packs!!!! That honestly sounds like it'll be fascinating... Hellroaring Mountain looks and sound amazing, too. After Tower Fall, I'm absolutely in love with the idea of more DLC maps, especially ones that are 8 by 8 km. I don't know what it is, but that little bit of extra room really makes the map feel endless! If you guys are looking to make more DLC maps, though, have you ever considered making a DLC of Voyageurs National Park, given how much of the game's audio and research is pulled from the project there? I would absolutely go nuts for a DLC map set there!

[@Jessijess70]

So now we can watch our babies grow into adulthood and live with them? It's awesome !

[@absolutelynotsb]

Will we be able to see changes happening to our pups? Such as growing, that would be a really cool touch instead of them just automatically becoming full size. I’m so excited for the saga!

It's SO exciting to see the older pups getting involved in hunting! It's been such a long time coming and they look great!

[@theincarnationofboredom207]

I have a question about the saga, at the moment when you want to play as a pup you manually age them up from the menu into a playable wolf. What will that look like for the saga? Will you have to play with your pack leader until the pups are 2 years old, and then you can switch to them after they disperse? If the pups are able to find their own mates during the saga, can you choose to play with them with that mate they chose in their save?

[@WolfQuestGame]

Great questions! Stay tuned ;)

[@Echostar4315]

Thank you so much I can tell your team works really hard and we are so grateful that you and your team do these updates!

When I first started playong wolf quest all I could think abt was the future of it. I always had this exact idea that the game could be more like a actual wolf pack raising your pups from pups to adult wolfs! So glad that my dream is true and this is so amazing! 😊❤🎉

[@Oswald_Thatendswald]

I'm buying the DLCs anyways because lets be honest you guys deserve it for all your hard work. Best devs I've ever seen. Cant wait to play the saga!

[@Cr0wFe4th3rz]

So excited for pups to grow alongside you! i finished a game save without an account and was so excited, i made one after though. The fact that they'll soon learn to hunt and grow will be amazing! Now i am wondering whether the pack will stay together and you (if female) and your female pups will have pups, may leave to build a new pack, end up dying etc (It would be good if only a few left, like they bark at you, interact with you and their other parent if there is one, then turning and retreating. But if some stayed you could help them find mates by howling or them howling and they'd just run in the direction of a howl - So its like you are the dispersal wolves, You watch from a distance as they get a mate and poof for a day or two to bond then return). This vid is building views so quickly, I am proud to be the 901st like too! This new thing will be amazing, and i'm sure it'll work great with Dog Days - The new predators and older pack members. I also would suggest a future update: to be able to take over a pack in a way? Go to their territory where their camp is marked, Kill the assumed leader (Trying to target the females, killing the pups, killing half the pack or just scaring them away may work too) and their territory will spoil overnight - Their camp may change spots but if not thats one less territory and room for another new one! Thanks for reading this, Good day/night. I am so excited for this new update.

[@sebastianck4100]

Incredible timing, I was just wondering about the next part of the saga and where you guys are at. Right on track!

[@nostalgicammi]

Saga update gives me serotonin as always c': Here are my thoughts: - The dynamic rival packs is a great idea for reflecting realism! I just hope there won't be a lot of repetitiveness in the pack names tbh. Maybe you could at least make it a save startup option to have the packs when you start a save on a map be randomly generated for those that don't want the same ol' real pack-based defaults? (the same default wolves for most of the rival packs on every save is why I never take a rival pack mate unless I've taken down enough for there to be randomly generated options in their place lol) - For the six-month-old pups, it could be cool if when summer starts turning to fall, the pups' coat could make a gradual blending transition from puppy coat to adult coat? - Also, regarding the possibility of pups growing into one of the Life Is Rough coats: that seems kinda redundant for the pups who haven't had any close calls during attacks on the den, especially if there'll be no more timeskipping to headcanon that they got the scar between seasons. Maybe along with the Saga look into implementing a scar system where instead of having a Life Is Rough coat, any wolf can collect some scars over time on any coat (and also be designed with them?). - For some of us storyteller-types, adding an option in customization to pick your wolf's exact starting age (like between 2 and 7) could be cool. And just for whatever starting age that wolf is at they either don't get perks until their first in-game age-up or are limited to just a bonus stat point or two, if you feel like letting players start a wolf out as earlier with a full selection of perks for their age would be cheaty. - I remember one of your looking back/Saga plans videos mentioned Pelican Bay as another region for a potential additional Yellowstone map, do you devs think that's something that might still be considered for another DLC map in the future? (After HM and TF of course)

[@Viviified]

This is so exciting to watch! So many new cool features! I feel like dynamic packs will add SO much to the feeling of actually being there with the others, that they aren't just huge territories with the same three wolves teleporting around haha. So very excited about that too!

[@ReusableSalad]

I noticed that in one of the loading screens there was a cow elk with something around its neck that looked like a radio collar, will that be added? A chance to see an elk that has one of those in a herd? The same way you can find stranger/dispersal wolves with radio collars?
