Community Update (with Q&A!)
Hey there hunters,
Vivi here, your friendly local community manager! I asked our Discord what kinds of things I should talk about in this post and was flooded with questions, so this is now a Q&A. I couldn't answer everything here, but did my best to include as many answers as possible.

Just to make sure, are we getting another map?
Of course you are! Pretty soon, too.
Are there new animals on the map?
Yes, many new ones.
What ocean does the country’s map border?
That’s too specific to reveal this early.
What part of the world will the new map be in?
While I can't reveal the location yet, I do want to be transparent about one thing. As mentioned by our Game Director in a Q&A last year, our tech just isn’t capable of giving you the next African map, not to the quality we really want to deliver. So to be blunt, the next map DLC will not be anywhere in Africa. But we are improving our tech in the background to get us there one day.
Any species above class 5 coming?
Yep, a few actually.
Is there any sort of predator?
Yes.
What instruments will the next map's music feature?
There are a few I won’t spill because they are unique, but I can confirm an orchestra will be involved and that the music (in my opinion) is "straight fire" as the kids say.
Will we see new trees?
Yep, lots of new foliage.
What’s the next Great One?
This time, it’ll be an animal exclusive to the new map.
Will we add more mythical creatures in the future?
We were happy to see the excitement around the Wild Haggis (cat’s out of the bag!). The door is open for more mythical creatures in the future, but we can’t confirm or deny if anything is coming.
Any news on backfills?
There aren’t backfills coming any time soon, but we see your comments about it and are currently investigating what we could backfill in the future.
Are feeders getting tweaked at all sometime soon?
Let me take this opportunity to talk about Patch 9.2 a little bit. You'll get the full patch notes closer to the release date, but here are some highlights:
• A fix for the Game Feeders bug that makes it work more effectively again.
• Fixes for several missions, including the ones bugged on Medved Taiga.
• New Mountain Goat Truracs, completely remastered!

Well, as much as it pains me to keep my mouth shut, that's about all I can reveal to you today. Keep speculating and keep an eye on our social channels. Let us know where you think we're going next!
