A historical companion among hunters, the Bloodhound is known for its outstanding sense of smell and strong tracking instinct. With this DLC, over one million monthly active players can now enlist the help of a trustworthy scenthound to help track animal blood clues – even in the thickest of brush and over incredible distances – and forge that special human-canine bond we’ve all come to love.

“Since the release of theHunter: Call of the Wild in 2017, our community’s support, dedication and creativity have helped shape the game into what it is today,” said Sacha Karsenty, Product Owner at Expansive Worlds. “With the Bloodhound DLC, we’re incredibly excited to bring one of the most requested features to life, and give players the opportunity to hunt alongside this gentle, yet incredibly effective scent hound.”
