This is a special news announcement because we want to share some information about WolfQuest: Anniversary Edition before the release on Thursday. We’ve decided to scrap a particular feature that we’ve mentioned over the past few years, and we wanted to get the word out before the release. We know it’ll be disappointing to a lot of players, but we do think it’s for the best.
And that feature is: importing your wolf from the old game into the new game. It sounded good two years ago but, since then, the new game has grown substantially bigger (and better, I think) and it’s problematic, in several ways, to import old wolves into it. You can easily recreate your wolf from the old game with the customization features – and it has new options, as well – but you won't be able to import your wolf from the old game. That will be a big disappointment to a lot of people– especially those who have been working to earn more XP and climb the ranks in the old game.
But we’ve thought about it a lot and, even aside from the technical issues, we think it's just the right decision — partly because it doesn't really make sense start the game as two year old dispersal wolf with a lot of XP and a high rank. Furthermore, we are developing a totally new XP system with some very cool stuff, but it won’t be ready for awhile yet, and so carrying over XP from the old game gets messy. So we are very sorry to scrap this feature at the last minute, but we hope that everyone will take on the challenge of starting fresh in WolfQuest: Anniversary Edition to chart their course as a young wolf in the Lamar Valley.
We’ve been getting many questions about how to get WolfQuest: Anniversary Edition once it’s released. It’s pretty simple:
On Steam, if you’ve purchased the old game, the new game will simply appear in your Library, ready to download.
If you purchased the game on the WolfQuest website or itch.io, the new game will be available on your WolfQuest download page. Your email receipt from itch.io has the link for that, or you can have that email sent again. See our Knowledge Base for details: support.wolfquest.org/help/downloading-the-game-again

We are releasing the first episode, Amethyst Mountain for PC/Mac on Steam and itch.io, as Early Access on July 25. That will be followed by multiplayer, Slough Creek, and Lost River, some months later, then followed by the mobile versions. We’ll then resume development of the next episode, Tower Fall.
