About
You are a gray wolf in the Northern Range of Yellowstone National Park. Now dispersed from your natal pack, you're on your own – to hunt, explore, find a mate and form your own pack to raise up a new family. Can you and your little pack survive the trials of the wild?


Surviving in the wilderness is far from easy! Hone your hunting skills by practicing on animals such as elk, mule deer, and moose. Once you've grasped their differences and know your limits against your selection of prey, seek out another wolf to become your mate and form a pack together. Explore fields and forests across Yellowstone National Park while you establish a territory and choose a den. Raise your pups by feeding them and playing with them. Protect them from deadly predators who try to kill them.

Over time, your family will outgrow the need for a den and become nomadic, where you teach your pups how to catch their own prey. By next spring they will be yearlings, and test these new skills to help raise the next litter. Eventually, some will venture out on their own and disperse, just as you did all that time ago.

And the cycle repeats, year after year, until you die. The saga of your life begins and ends when you choose, be it one life only or a succession of multiple generations.
Explore realistic recreations of select locations within Yellowstone National Park. Set in the Northern Range (often referred to as "the Serengeti of North America"), where many animals roam meadows, sagebrush steppe grasslands, alpine forests, and high ridges.
But be wary – you are not the only wolf in the area. Rival packs make their home across the landscape and don't take kindly to sight-seeing intruders. Other dangers roam the lands as well – grizzly bears, cougars, and coyotes among them who will vie with you for territory and food.


Raising the bar for realistic and accurate eco-simulation gameplay, many features in the game are directly adapted from wildlife research. Our science advisors include some of the top wolf biologists in the world today, who help us keep WolfQuest accurate to real wolf biology and behavior.
Live the life of a wild wolf! Form your own pack and watch your adorable pups grow into adults and disperse, year after year, until your wolf dies. End your story on your deathbed, or select an heir to continue your legacy.
Dynamic day/night, weather and seasons immerse you into the wilderness.
Wolves communicate with each other using natural actions and vocalizations. Packmates and pups interact and play with each other. Dynamic (family-friendly) courtship interactions help find and choose a suitable mate.
A genetics system models inheritance of each wolf's genes, including eye color, physical and personality attributes, and genetic coat color.
Elk roam the lands in realistic herds, along with moose, mule deer, beavers and other prey.
Animals behave and change to the seasons. Herds migrate through the year. Bucks and bulls spar in the autumn rut and shed their antlers. Cows and does give birth and raise their own young.
Rival wolf packs maintain and protect their own territories from intruders – like you!
Bears, cougars and coyotes will challenge you for your kills and defend their own.
Optional Ironwolf Mode: Live life on the edge, where each decision counts and your death can't be taken back.
Over 100 Achievements and a variety of collectible objects hidden across the map, from shed antlers, skulls, to lost human items.
And a lot more!


Engage in Co-op Multiplayer: Raise your pups together in a group for one game year, maintain territory together against rival packs, or hang out in a sandbox without any real objective.
Live a Wolf's Life Together: Build a pack and raise pups year to year in a special 2-Player Mode, until one of you dies of old age.

Amazing game
dog
A very cool and interesting game. It made me realize how hard an animals life is i knew that mother nature is harsh but wow. i know a lot more about wolves and Yellowstone as a whole. wolves are a very intelligent and orderly animal and i hope i get to see one in real life i always loved animal games ever since i was a in elementary school i hope these dev try some new animals one day like lions or some endangered species like the African wild dog the dog is very similar to wolves in a way and it would be nice to have a new kind of ecosystem to explore. this one of the most fun animals games I've played.
Excellent game
Game is chill and fun. You may run into an event that makes you angrier than life itself and fill you with a murderous rage, likely over a pack death. Game is still chill and fun.
BEST EVER!!!
I've been playing since 2017 on the classic version and this game has stayed in a constant state of improvement, very proud of how far the devs have come. seeing the game grow to what it is today makes me happy and I'm glad it hasn't been abandoned lol runs well, sometimes lags when you tab out but that's expected. easy to learn, fun with friends and still enjoyable solo. community is very kind and I've made a good few friends on multiplayer. pretty realistic when it comes to interacting with NPCs in singleplayer and the environment is amazing. love this game might be my favorite
muito realista
Very good. Can be boring if you don't much like slow or sometimes repetitive gameplay - one of those games where you do have to make your own fun sometimes, at least in my opinion. Can either be nice and easy, or very punishing. I like it quite a lot.
