 Wartales, the medieval open-world tactical RPG with more than 1 MM units sold from developer Shiro Games, unveils a formidable new challenge entitled The Beast Hunt. The new DLC set in a region inhabited by ravenous creatures launches Tuesday, April 29 on PC via Steam, GOG, and Gamesplanet.

The Beast Hunt sends battle-hardened warbands to the deadly region of Brigga to hunt down a legendary monster. Join efforts with the Trackers and take advantage of the new Huntsman profession to connect a string of clues and evidence found throughout the hunt that will help pinpoint the monster’s lair.

Slay other supernatural creatures known as the Ghost Pack, but beware of the Beast’s dark influence over the troop’s own animal companions. If corrupted, their loyalty could shift, causing them to flee and even become hostile toward the group of sellswords. After conquering The Beast, join the Trackers to defeat the powerful brute in new phases and locations across Brigga. 

The Beast Hunt will be accompanied by a patch for Wartales’ base game, adding Fierce Animal units as well as the new Huntsman profession for all Wartales players. Make use of powerful new animal units with distinct passive abilities to gain the upper hand in challenging combat encounters in addition to a host of fresh updates, improvements, and quality of life enhancements. 

“As we’ve continued to develop the world of Wartales, our sellswords have let us know that they’re always excited to explore new areas and uncover new storylines,” said Quentin Lapeyre, Game Director at Shiro Games. “The Beast Hunt is based on a legend veteran players may be familiar with, and we’ve expanded it into a thrilling storyline set in a dynamic region filled with ravenous new threats to face down.”
