Way of the Hunter 2 expands its world today with the arrival of the Kilimaya Reserve. Kilimaya is a 100 km² (40 square miles) reserve built on contrast, featuring highlands, forests, open grasslands, wetlands, shrublands, and sun-scorched barren terrain – all packed into a single diverse environment.
Players can also discover ancient stone ruins, remote village settlements, lookout towers, and hidden cave paintings, all set within a landscape shaped by the full range of African wilderness. Early Access Update 2 delivers a completely new hunting experience, introducing twelve new animal species, additional gear, and a cast of new characters, each with their own stories to tell.
