THEHUNTER: PRIMAL – NOW ANGRIER, HUNGRIER AND BETTER VALUE
Earlier this year, Avalanche Studios and Expansive Worlds released theHunter: Primal, a stand-alone, one-time purchase on Steam. Carving out a unique, prehistoric niche in the survival genre, Primal gained substantial attention and positive player feedback following its release.
Since then, we’ve listened intently to our community. They have asked for new weapons, gadgets as well as an expanded endgame. So we are now releasing a patch offering exactly that – at no added cost. We have also lowered the price of the full game to $19.99. For those previously on the fence, the time has come for some prehistoric holiday hunting!
In the free update, we’re introducing the “Primal Queen”, a creature both bigger and stronger than a normal T-Rex, with improved AI and aggression turned way up. It can only be lured out of hiding by using a Scent Gland - harvested from another big T-Rex female - and only one will inhabit each server. With the introduction of the “Queen”, the world of theHunter: Primal has finally received a boss character. Taking her down will prove almost impossible for a lone hunter, requiring a team to work together.
In addition to the Scent Gland, we are also introducing the Drop Pod Beacon, which lets you respawn at its position as well as the Axe, Reverse Crossbow and Assault Rifle to even the odds. Rare dinosaurs will now also drop loot, which then will be unlocked in the store. To round things off, we’ve killed a few bugs (and encapsulated them in prehistoric resin for future use) and polished some of our UI elements.
With these new additions, theHunter: Primal represents a more exciting, immersive experience than ever before. Grab the game now and start exploring the 24 square kilometer Cretaceous world, created in beautiful detail in the award-winning, proprietary Avalanche Engine.
