During game development, the team have occasionally slipped out teasers, often in the form of screenshots, pictures, video and, more recently, audio.[1]
During the development and beta testing of episode two, Cana allowed the beta testers to show off some screenshots from the new version in the form of actual teasers and bug/glitch "bloopers", with some of them being photoshopped or manually tweaked by the individual beta tester for a laugh.
Some promotional images reflect major differences in the alpha, beta or otherwise pre-release version that are not present in the final product; the teaser videos depict certain features that did not make it into the public release, such as marking territory and communication interactions in episode one and roaming stranger wolves in episode two.

Trivia
- The communication interactions seen in Amethyst Mountain's promotional video were possibly reworked into the social arena enounters, 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.
- 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.
