For avatar customization options, see Player and Customization.

Downloadable Content (commonly shortened to and abbreviated as DLC) refers to optional add-on content that grants additional options either for gameplay or whose purpose is aesthetic and/or cosmetic. In most games, some are free, while others will have an imposed price tag. In WolfQuest, DLC is not always free; the few that are are included with the price of the game and may have been distributed as paid content in past incarnations.

All sales generate revenue which is put back into game development efforts among other things. Regardless of the game version or operating system, the base game is always tied to the player's Steam or Humble Bundle account. Itch.io purchases are tied either to an account associated with the respective service, or through a receipt issued for the transaction ID.

Looking to buy the game? See Storefronts. Looking for the old free game? See Download.

The team have confirmed that some content will be separate purchases.[1]

In WolfQuest: Anniversary Edition, purchased downloadable content is partly tied to the player's premium WolfQuest game account. If the purchase was made through Steam, the player is required to run the game through Steam to access the add-on content. If the purchase was made through Itch.io, the player is required to run the Itch.io game and be logged into the same account that was used to purchase the add-on content to use it. Buying through one does not grant full access through the other due to licensing limitations.

All add-ons are optional extras. The player is not required to purchase anything, and their progression through the game will be in no way affected.

In WolfQuest: Classic, there is no true DLC for this game; the only differentiation between revisions is whether the player is running the Free Trial (most content is locked and inaccessible) or the Full Game (everything is accessible). Only in the Full Game can the player register and log-in to their premium WolfQuest game account.

In Legacy versions of WolfQuest, no DLC was ever released. Everything in the game was distributed for free thanks to funding received through National Science Foundation grants, donations, and other sources.

Expansions

In the Anniversary Edition, expansions refer to huge content updates, such as new game maps. Those with price tags are more expensive than coats, customizations, modifiers, and bundles. Not all are paid add-ons; the Saga will be free.

In Classic, only one expansion — the original Lost River — was released with the base game.


Game Maps

These locations provide extra settings in which to play in single-player or multiplayer.

In the Anniversary Edition, the following maps are upcoming releases.

Note: Some achievements will be locked behind paid content. When the Saga is fully implemented, the full game will be playable in all non-DLC maps, thus these are not required to progress in the story campaign. They serve simply as alternate locations in which to play.

When the WolfQuest Saga is fully implemented, all modern maps with the exception of Lost River (Classic) will be available to play the full story arc. Access in multiplayer is usually subject to an extended period in development before they become available to play online with other players.

In Classic, only the following maps were ever released during its development cycle. No more will be released for this version of the game.


Episodes

No new episodes were released for Classic, though Tower Fall was initially planned for it during its early stages of development. Progress was put on hold while eduweb reworked and overhauled the game into what is now known as the WolfQuest: Anniversary Edition. It has since continued development, but it is no longer planned for Classic and will instead release as a map for its modernised successor.

As of 2017 onwards, no new episodes or maps are planned for WolfQuest: Classic.

Trivia

Anniversary Edition Trivia

  • It is unknown whether Anniversary purchases will be cross-platform compatible.
    • This seems unlikely due to licensing restrictions between mobile storefronts and computer storefronts, as was partly the case for its Classic predecessor, but ultimately remains to be confirmed.
  • DLC in the Anniversary Edition is confirmed to be tethered to the owner's game account.[4] Players who have previously purchased and own DLC add-ons can see this for themselves in their Account interface.

Classic Trivia

  • Classic transactions are not cross-platform compatible due to licensing.
    • Content purchased from the in-game mobile Shop are tied to the user's mobile device account relative to the service that was used. (Google Play for most Android devices, Amazon for other Android devices and most Kindle devices, and the iTunes/App Store for IOS devices.)
    • Classic game accounts do not store or otherwise remember purchases.
