Howdy hunters,

The time has come and our beautiful Labrador retrievers are finally here!

Before rushing to the store to get yourself a new hunting buddy, make sure to read the release notes carefully and watch the accompanying tutorial video. As you must have seen in our pre-release livestream, your lab comes with new features and new gameplay, so this info put together by our game designer Daniel which covers commands, skills, stamina and more tips and tricks about your lab will sure come in handy. Right now your labs will help you retrieve Canada Geese, Mallard Ducks and Pheasants, but, following community suggestions we’ve also decided to add rabbits to the list of retrievable species. This’ll be implemented further down the line.

We’ve prepared a tasty offer that you’d be barking mad to refuse. If you buy a dog before Wednesday 17th 12:00 CEST you’ll get a 20% discount and receive a cherry on top – an exclusive leather collar which won’t be available in store afterwards. Please note that the free leather collar offer is only available in the Bundles section in the store. You can however buy dogs separately in the Dogs section. If the leather collar is not your dog’s cup of tea then there is an array of multicoloured collars available to suit every lab coat.

While we’re on the subject of special offers, we have another one for you – since this is a bird retrieving dog, there’s a sweet deal for those of you who haven’t indulged in the fine art of bird hunting yet – until the end of the weekend you can buy everything needed to hunt Mallards, Geese and Pheasants, at a very generous discount. These three species will also be free to hunt until the end of the weekend – real bird fest!

An important note; although we’re releasing the dog today, in the next weeks we will be closely watching your feedback and further tweaking, fixing and fine-tuning our retrievers, so we’d really appreciate it if you could share with us everything and anything about your new dog. We’ve created a special forum for all dog-related discussions in which you can report anything good or bad, and we’ll make sure to jump on bugs and issues on the fly. In a couple of weeks we’re going to release a short survey focused on dogs for you to share your feedback on the Labrador retriever and make suggestions for future breeds.

And last but not least – Pär has prepared a special package of 6 dog missions for you to hang out with your new buddy and try to win this lovely trophy (will be released a bit later today). These are time-limited missions, and you have until Wednesday 17th at 12:00 CEST to complete them.

I won’t hold you any longer. Now it’s time to … Sit! – Get out the blind! – Fetch!

Happy hunting with your dog!
