Demo Release | February 20th, 2026

On February 20th, 2026, we’re releasing the Ultimate Hunting® Demo.

This demo represents the current stage of development. It is not final, not fully polished, and not free of issues. You will encounter bugs. Some systems may behave inconsistently. Certain elements are still in progress.

The demo takes place on about 16 km² of the African map, which is still under development and has not received final visual polish. The focus is on the core gameplay loop: exploration, tracking, ethical shot placement, harvesting, transporting animals, and progressing toward better gear.

You’ll be able to hunt African Bush Elephant, Burchell’s Zebra, and African Savanna Hare.

In terms of equipment, the demo includes three weapons: the Buckfear 150, the .416 Rigby “Cape Sleeper” rifle, and the Sloth MDR recurve bow. Buckfear supports customization, including caliber changes, barrel length adjustments, stock color, and muzzle attachments.

Available ammunition types in the demo are:

  • For .243 WIN: 55gr FMJ, 55gr PT, 85gr FMJ, 85gr SP, 100gr PT, and 100gr SP.

  • For .270 WIN: 90gr SP, 130gr FMJ, 130gr SP, and 150gr PT.

  • For .416 RIGBY: 400gr FMJ, 450gr HP, and 450gr SP.

  • The bow uses a single arrow type.

Ballistics are implemented in their current development state, and ethical kills, proper calibers, and vital shots directly affect in-game money and XP. You’ll also have access to one vehicle, allowing you to load harvested animals onto a trailer and transport them across the map.

The demo is single-player only. There are no quests. It’s free-roam hunting with progression to unlock better equipment. There will be full gamepad support + 12 languages.

This demo shows where we are right now, not the final quality target. Your feedback will be important, and we’ll monitor reports closely and improve the demo as development continues.

Thank you for being here.

See you in the savanna.
