• Update 1.2.6 Live - 5 October 2026

  Welcome to Update 1.2.6! We’ve been hard at work on this and thanks to our playtesters, we’ve found a lot of things to test. Read on! Save Version WarningWe have added a new version check when loading saves from previous versions of the game.Unfortunately, we are not able to guarantee that saves will continue to work correctly between different versions of Huntsman. As we make changes to levels, progression, objectives, and other systems, older saves can sometimes contain outdated information that causes issues when loaded into a newer version of the game.Because of this, the game will now warn you when attempting to load a save created on an older version. You can still choose to continue with that save, but we strongly recommend starting a new game after an update to avoid unexpected issues.We know this is not ideal, especially for players who already have progress in the game, and we…

• Patch 1.2.5 Live Now - 20 August 2026

We’ve been going through everything and working with the community to identify the biggest issues and have pushed a new bug fix patch live today.It’s addressed a number of the recent issues across soft locks, inventory problems and save files. We will continue to monitor the feedback on this new update and any other problems that you report, and act on them as quickly as we can.As always, thank you for your continued support of Huntsman’s development.Quality of LifeChanged the player navigation in basementChanged the player navigation in laboratoryRemembering Bowie, a beloved canine friend of the community that was recently lost.

• Player feedback survey - 24 July 2026

  Happy Bug-Hunt Friday!With Update 1.2 we delivered a number of highly requested features, reviews went up, returns went down and our community seemed to love the work that had gone into the game.

We develop and test on a number of machines with very different setups but more input means we can find and fix these for new players.https://forms.gle/WWg6dSbXUur6rZ5SAAlso, Update 1.3 (including Hardcore Mode) is well under way but we want to ensure that everyone is having the best experience possible before we push anything else live.Thanks!Forget.

• Huntsman Patch 1.2 & 30% Off Sale! - 18 June 2026

  Having moved from minor fixes to larger QoL changes with Patch 1.1 in April, we’re now revealing our favourite change yet with 1.2 - spider movement. With help from a specialist (thank you, Lincoln Margison!) we’ve overhauled how the spiders move, turn and tackle things like corners, objects and ceilings. Overall, this has added to the immersion and horror by removing instances of legs and abdomens disappearing through walls/floors/ceilings, and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. To celebrate Patch 1.2, the game is on sale from 18th June - 9th July at 30% of (through the Summer Sale).Quality of LifeInverse Kinematics rework - an overhaul of the old animation based spider movement. Spiders now move organically through locations with their legs properly connecting to floors, walls, ceilings and other objects, for added realism/terrorFull controller integrationMore spiders - we added…

• Huntsman Patch 1.1 - 24 April 2026

  Welcome to our first Quality of Life (QoL) Huntsman patch! Up to now, we’ve been working hard on addressing the community feedback from launch. As we squashed the biggest issues, we’ve been able to sit down and think about how to improve the game beyond bug fixes, things to give back to the community who stuck by us, as well as our longer term goals for Huntsman.Patch 1.1 adds lots of things throughout the game, including new visual modes, updated spider behaviours and more. We are hard at work on two more large patches, but no spoilers (we’ve left a small hint in-game for 1.2, but we’ll leave it at that). Patch notes below, and if you want to bag a deal, check out our bundle partners. Thank you to Secret Mode, Wired, Blumhouse Games, DOSMan Gaming and Steelkrill Studio for helping to celebrate all things horror!We’ve also added new screenshots and a small developer diary from Jory, the…

• Patch 1.0.1 Live Now - 29 November 2025

  To our wonderful Atherton employees, Great news! Our first patch is now live. Patch 1.0.1 focused on the two biggest issues, specifically the random soft locks that would halt story progress, and the inventory either duplicating or deleting items.

• Creature Feature Episode 4 - The Tarantula - 24 November 2025

  “Isn’t is scary, working on a game like Huntsman?” We get this one a lot. Yes, the game was inspired by a personal phobia. Yes, the spiders are scary and sometimes we get an unexpected jump when they grab us in-game. But are we immune to it, generally? Sort of. And then we put the tarantula in. That’s when everything changed.The tarantula is the biggest, fastest and most aggressive of the four spider types. While orb weaver and trapdoor spiders will instantly kill you if you stray too close, they can be avoided. Huntsman can be distracted or snuck past. But the tarantula is in a whole different class. It is also the most requested spider type from the community and we’ve wanted to talk about this for a very long time, so keeping it locked tight has been a challenge! (Also, getting this damn spider to behave for trailer and screenshot capture has been like trying to wrangle…well, wrangle…

• Creature Feature Episode 3 - Trapdoor Spider - 21 November 2025

  8 legs. 6 days. 3 spiders. 1 surprise.That’s as close to a mathematical equation as we can distill Huntsman down to. We’ve finally revealed a new arachnid today, the Trapdoor spider, and that means we have one left to reveal. A BIG one. A big…hairy…fast one. Even we’re scared of that one. Keep your eyes peeled for Monday!Creature Feature Episode 3 revealed the trapdoor spider, our new subterranean menace, as well as several new locations within Atherton HQ. The trapdoor spider is lighting fast and its burrows aren’t easy to detect, and you’ll first encounter them in the living quarters, an area dedicated to staff downtime. But don’t think you can relax as the trapdoor isn’t the only spider enjoying the amenities. Their reach might extend to a small area, much like the orb weaver, but carelessness will result in death, especially if something else was chasing you at the same time…We also…

• Creature Feature Episode 2 - The Orb Weaver - 19 November 2025

  Welcome everyone,Thank you to all for the 98% view rate on our first instructional video, examining the huntsman spider. The remaining 2% of outstanding viewers, your shift managers have been notified and your duties will be temporarily suspended while you are placed on specimen feeding. Atherton thanks you for your understanding.Our second episode introduces the orb weaver, which our scientists have affectionately termed “death from above”. Almost exclusively found on ceilings and other points of elevation such as staircases, the orb weavers seem to favour dark and humid places. Their bright colouring is intended to draw in prey, and they have displayed an uncanny ability to position themselves near points of common ingress, almost resulting in several incidents for our specimen feeding teams.If ever you encounter an orb weaver, watch them closely. Their descents are silent but slow, m…

• Huntsman Launches on Nov 27th - 17 November 2025

  Huntsman launches on PC on Nov 27th! Thank you to everyone for your support. Spread the word!To all Atherton employees,We’ve noticed a level of complacency among staff members recently. Following two separate incidents with research subjects, management has created and shared a series of mandatory instructional videos about spider behaviors and company procedures. Everyone will be required to watch the four videos, starting with the huntsman. And to the staff members injured in those incidents, you have been granted a 72 hour deadline extension to view these new materials.Today’s episode introduces the huntsman, our most agile and curious type. Our simulations suggest that in the event of a breakout, the huntsman spiders would roam all accessible areas in search of prey, rather than establishing any sort of territory. Distractions and stealth are key. Predominantly solo hunters, we do n…

• 25,000 Wishlists - Thank You! - 10 November 2025

  To our Atherton family, We recently passed another milestone for Huntsman - 25,000 wishlists! We’re well and truly into November, our launch month, and things couldn’t be more exciting. Everything is being webbed together, bugs crunched and we’re casting all eight eyes over the game ahead of the big day. So what’s next? We have a few big announcements on the horizon, including our launch date, new spider types, locations and more, which are coming in a series of excellent trailers we call Creature Features. The demo is still live for everyone to play with some small updates planned, based on your feedback. But most importantly, thank you to everyone who continues to support the journey. Oh, and here's a sneak peek of something. Please consider this part of your annual bonus. FEAR the Huntsman. Forget. Everything. And. Run!

• Hunting Demo Bugs - 31 October 2025

  To our loyal Atherton employees,Steam Next Fest was an amazing moment for Huntsman. We finally got to share how far the game has come since the Itch demo, gained invaluable feedback from all of you and saw our wishlists explode (more on that next week). More than 15,000 people have been stalked through the Atherton Labs hallways and your support on social media helped to amplify our hard work!But we didn’t just sit back and watch. We set Huntsman loose on the game and it has been steadily devouring the reported bugs, and we’ve shared below some examples of the many fixes made in the past few weeks. The demo will remain live up to and through launch and we hope you’ll all continue to celebrate the game.Bug fix in which the states of things throughout the level were not saving when the player respawned after deathBug fix where changing between data layers for sections of the map glitched…

• What's Next After Next Fest - 22 October 2025

  To our loyal Atherton employees, We have a quick and simple message; thank you! The Next Fest week was incredible. You turned up in droves to visit the page, download the demo and share your experiences everywhere. Your support for Huntsman (and your terrified squeals) drew in a new wave of people who wishlisted the game and also played the demo. It was incredibly inspiring.So what's next? In short, we're getting ready to light the fuse on this rocket (insert an arachnid themed analogy if that works for you) as November's launch is incredibly close. We have new spider types to unleash, a launch date to reveal and some other cool bits we won't spoil yet. We'd say the future is bright but...your future largely takes place in a darkened research laboratory infested with enormous carnivorous spiders. But Huntsman's future is looking very good! As a thank you, here's an in-development snap o…
