First off, if you don’t have auto-update enabled for Classic, make sure you update the game!
For the next four weeks the EHR is celebrating its annual Fiesta! That’s 3 mission packs (Easy, Medium and Hard), the long competition that runs for the whole 4 weeks, and a multi-species competition each week with tiers.
Participate for the prizes, the trophies, and the glory! This event is going to work a bit differently, so read on for the skinny.
While we’re considering this an event, it isn’t going to function like one. There are no special point$ to collect, no fancy banner and calendar. Activate your missions from the mission page and your comps from the competition page as you normally would.
All three mission packs will be available for the duration but they do have dependencies, so you can’t start with the hard pack and work backwards. You have plenty of time, but don’t waste it. And remember, it’s called a hard pack for a reason. It’s supposed to be hard, that’s its purpose. You wouldn’t take its purpose away, would you? That would just be mean.
The Mega Saver comp runs for 4 weeks. You have 20 attempts BUT we’re doing things a little differently this year. You will need to hunt all the animals ethical for the .243 Rifle (any version is fine). All animals will be available from the start of the competition. Remember to deactivate the comp in between sessions so you don’t waste attempts. Highest combined CSS wins. To be eligible, you need at least one harvested animal of each species.
Duration: 28 days
Start: 23 July 2025 (Wednesday)
End: 20 August 2025 (Wednesday)
As explained, but you probably skipped it, all three mission packs will be available for the duration but the harder ones unlock as you complete the easier ones. No skipping ahead. You can play them in Multiplayer if you choose.
Remember that the Fiesta is our event for the hardcore players. Anyone should be able to complete the imaginatively named Easy Mission Pack. The other two will require a little more effort. Unlike last year, the mission packs are not split up. You must complete the entire pack to get the prizes. Let this be a lesson not to game the system.
Easy Mission Pack:
A total of 3000 gm$, 100 em$, a trophy, a Deployable Hunting Tower and a 1 Month Unlimited Ammo Pass.
Medium Mission Pack:
A total of 6000 gm$, 200 em$, a trophy, a Tree Stand and a Trapper Tent.
Hard Mission Pack:
A total of 10000 gm$, 400 em$, a trophy and 4 Inventory Loadouts.
COMPETITIONS
The event comes with 4 competitions (each with with 7 tiers) and the Mega Saver that lasts the duration. Each of the 4 comps lasts a week.
There’s been a slight change to the Mega Saver competition this year; instead of adding animals gradually over the course of the event, you’ll be able to hunt them all from the start. There are more animals required, but you can hunt many of them on the same reserves. The weapon of choice for this competition is the .243 Rifle (you can use any version of it). You will need to hunt one of each animal species that the rifle is ethical for.
You have 20 attempts, so remember to deactivate the competition when you are not hunting for it. We cannot return wasted attempts.
What would a game be without rules?
We have one simple rule for our events: No exploitation of existing game mechanics to gain an advantage. All winners’ hunts will be checked by EW staff prior to prizes being rewarded, and the decision will be final.
In case of exploits usage, EW has a right to disqualify the player from this event.
If you use hacks, we will ban you. Permanently. Refer to the End User Licence Agreement on the website/Launcher. I can’t believe I have to explain this here, we don’t allow hacks. Not in normal gameplay, not in competitions, and certainly not in events. It only takes once. If you’re going to challenge the decision, you’ll need to have better evidence proving you didn’t cheat than we do proving you did.
Make hay while the sun shines, in this case it’s a Grand Sale! You know how we get with this, most of the store lands up on sale 🙂
Make sure to check out the Sale section to see the full list!
That’s all folks, any questions, feel free to post them below.
Enjoy all!

This is a small release to take care of the updated Privacy Policy and EULA. We’ve mentioned it before, not much has changed other than names since Expansive Worlds and Avalanche merged. They’re the same agreements beyond that (although it is always best practice to read this sort of thing). Your data is still handled the same (EU privacy laws) and by the same people and systems.
Anyway, you’re going to get a transition screen the first time you open the game after the update. You will need to consent to play the game. Make sure you check both boxes to Continue. You will be automatically logged in.
That’s all for now, more soon. It’s nearly Fiesta time 😉
Happy Hunting!

Since we’ve got the event causing an update anyway, we thought we’d sneak some stuff out with it:
Dear user,
We are writing to inform you of an important change concerning your personal data. Expansive Worlds AB has recently merged with its parent company Avalanche Studios Group AB. This merger’s impact includes a change in control of the personal data that you have previously provided to Expansive Worlds AB. Following the merger, Expansive Worlds AB ceased to exist and Avalanche Studios Group AB assumed all rights and obligations of Expansive Worlds AB, including any customer relationships. We have updated our Privacy Policy to reflect that Avalanche Studios Group now is the data controller. This change is in effect from April 8, 2025.
The merger will not alter the types of personal data we collect, nor the ways we use it. You continue to have the right to access, rectify, delete, and restrict processing of your personal data. If you have any questions regarding this change or if you would like to exercise your data subject rights, please contact us at [email protected].
Further as a result of the merger, we have updated the End User License Agreement (EULA) to reflect that the game is provided to you under license by Avalanche Studios Group AB. This does not affect how you access or play the game.
You can always read the EULA and Private Policy on the website or launcher from the links at the bottom of every main page.
Enjoy the Easter Event!
That’s all for now, more coming soon.
Happy Hunting!

Another quick round of small bug fixes that have gone along with a bigger server upgrade:
That’s all for now, more coming soon.

We want to address the concern regarding rewards from the last event and the broader issues some of you have experienced.
The core problem lies in our game’s infrastructure, which requires significant updates. In its current state, major updates or events can introduce unexpected bugs, leading to increased server strain and impacting your overall experience.
Rest assured, we’re aware of these challenges and are actively working to resolve them. Alongside fixing the immediate issues, we are implementing a comprehensive system update to ensure future events and updates roll out smoothly and without critical problems.
This means that delays with event rewards, server stability, and other reported issues are our top priority. All these concerns are being addressed as quickly as possible. This means we will delay all non-essential releases, including events, until these critical bugs have been fixed.
We deeply appreciate your patience and support as we work to make the game more stable and enjoyable for everyone. Thank you for sticking with us!
