- For the patch notes of live releases, see Updates.
Teasers refer to in-development sneak previews of upcoming content and changes.
These tend to be provided in media format - screenshots, videos, and audio samples[1] - generally published ahead of time by the development team and later on during the development cycle, from beta testers with loboLoco's approval. This article serves as a place to review all past and present teasers, with new sections being added and maintained throughout the course of any active or ongoing development cycles.
Trailers and promotional images revealed before release or early on during the course of development should not be seen as a guarantee of the final product, as some things seen may potentially be adjusted or removed before the final revision is initially released to the public.[2]
The following teasers and promotional media were released during the development cycle of WolfQuest: Anniversary Edition, also known as WolfQuest 3 and WolfQuest 3: Anniversary Edition during the earliest developer's blogs and teasers.

Trivia
- The communication interactions seen in Amethyst Mountain's promotional video were possibly reworked into the social arena encounters, while territory marking was implemented in the second episode to be more realistic and accurately portray real wolf behavior; dispersal wolves do not establish territory until they have a mate. This would be a sensible explanation, granted that WolfQuest is an educational game.
- Emotes further expanded upon facial expression and body language as an alternative method of communicating.
- Content observed in trailers, images, audio or other such promotional content that did not initially appear within their respective initial releases:
- The original 2007 trailer depicted a wolf peeing to mark its territory, which did not debut until episode 2's release three years later.
- The episode 2 teaser revealed what appears to have been a roaming stranger wolf, which did not debut until 2.7's release five years later.
- Grizzly bears were implemented with the introduction of Amethyst Mountain's Deluxe edition update.
- Similarly, time and weather were introduced in Survival of the Pack's Deluxe edition update.
