The Labrador Retriever Has Arrived!

November 28, 2023


THE BEST DOGGO

Today, it warms our hearts to finally welcome the adorable new Labrador Retriever to theHunter: Call of the Wild.

This intelligent and versatile dog isn’t just a pair of extra eyes and ears in the wild – it’s a loyal companion that empowers you to hunt in an efficient new way. On command, it can fetch any rabbit, hare, waterfowl, or upland bird on land or in water, starting with the harvest you are pointing at.

Bring your four-legged bestie home today via Steam, Microsoft Store for PC and Xbox, PlayStation, and Epic Games Store.

Also, in case there was ever any doubt: all doggos are the best. 😉

DEEPEN BONDS & INCREASE PROWESS

Grow your connection by petting, giving treats, or playing. As you get to know each other and hunt more often, its efficiency will gradually improve. When it’s time to head back to the lodge, expect the Labrador to be there too, happily wagging its tail.

Name your pooch, choose its appearance, and assign traits that match your hunting style. Decide between male or female and seven unique fur coat variations! What’s more, you can also add multiple dogs to your roster for rotation in each new hunt.

The Labrador Retriever DLC is available now on PC and consoles for £4.99 GBP/ $5.99 USD / € 5,99 EUR.

THE COMPANION GIVEAWAY COMES TO AN END

Yesterday, we wrapped up our Companion Giveaway through Gleam. Thank you to everyone who participated and congratulations to the winners!

Hunters from all over used #theHunterCompanion on Instagram to show the world their loyal companions. Let’s be honest, this whole thing may have been a ploy to see everyone’s adorable pals. Here are some highlights!

The fierce duck-hunter on the left was posted by ksusparkiekong — nice fetch! Then we have an adorable little sleeping kitten companion accompanying gregorovich97 and his Bloodhound for a hunt. The last beautiful doggie is basking in the sun with ashdahlia. There were more heart-warming companions to scroll through, so give the tag a look!
