“Nicknamed the “Magnolia State” – a nod to the beautiful Magnolia Trees that grow in the region – Mississippi Acres Preserve holds a special place in the hearts of hunters. Not only because of its stunning landscapes, where distinctive wetlands and bluffs meet pine forests and murky rivers, but also for its characteristic wildlife. Wherever you decide to go, experience exceptional hunting and outdoor adventures in Mississippi Acres Preserve.”

Welcome to Mississippi Acres Preserve, the new reserve for theHunter: Call of the Wild! This reserve is based on the American Mississippi Delta and brings exciting new content for players to discover, including unique species such as the American Alligator and Common Raccoon, a powerful new bolt-action rifle suited for small game hunting, a story that involves a sinister conspiracy, and a stunning reserve to spend countless hours exploring.

There are plenty of exciting animal species that roam the reserve, six of which are introduced for the first time:

  • American Alligator (NEW)
  • Common Raccoon (NEW)
  • Gray Fox (NEW)
  • Northern Bobwhite Quail (NEW)
  • Eastern Cottontail Rabbit (NEW)
  • Eastern Wild Turkey (NEW)
  • Feral Pig
  • Black Bear
  • Whitetail Deer

Mississippi Acres Preserve has been left devastated by the worst flooding in a decade, swamping entire communities and forcing its residents to flee their homes. Members of two local rival hunting clubs have chosen to form an uneasy alliance in an attempt to help the community get back on its feet. However, things aren’t what they seem, and when warden Immi Davis finds herself in the middle of a sinister conspiracy, things quickly take a turn for the worse. Can you help her uncover the truth?

The Kullman .22H is a classic bolt-action rifle and the perfect tool for small game hunting. It is available in three distinct variations and both reliable and powerful enough to keep small predators away from your property and livestock. Thanks to its lightweight yet robust frame, the Kullman .22H makes for an ideal rifle to carry with you during long hunts.

Players who don’t own the DLC can still play it by joining someone in multiplayer who does. This will give them access to everything but the narrative missions.
