- FUTURE PLANS FOR DARK HUNTING GROUND - 27 April 2026
Hello Hunters, A few months ago, we considered the game’s content to be complete; however, we kept hearing requests for more content. So, after many internal discussions and partnerships, we discovered some potential additional content that we could make. However, the cost of producing this extra content was not part of our initial plan, since we considered the game to be finished. And we also don’t want to raise the game’s current price. Here's what we're going to do:We're releasing a Cosmetic Supporter DLC (no additional content other than COSMETIC); this is a DLC for those who’d like to support our work. It is already available: Dark Hunting Ground - Skin Supporter Pack Now about the extra content, we are making a DLC adding a new class, more about it you can find at the DLC page and you can also add it to your Wishlist:Dark Hunting Ground - Druid Class PackThank you all for your sup…

- UPDATES 1.2.0 - 25 September 2025
Summon Changes: For a long time, summons have been plagued by various issues and bugs. Many of their bonuses were unclear, making it difficult for hunters to determine whether they were applying correctly to their summons. Recently, some major summon data errors have been discovered. As a result, I've refactored some of the summon code. This change results in the following: Some summons now benefit from effects that previously didn't. Unless otherwise noted, most damage and special-effect-type affixes now apply to summons. This includes: Projectile Return, Chaining, Elemental Ailments Effect, More damage to Close/Range Enemies, More Damage Based on Projectile Range and Speed, Toxin Detonation, and more. If you find that certain affixes aren't applying to your summons during gameplay, please let us know and we'll either enable them or modify their descriptions accordingly. Fixed an issue…
