Happy new year COTW Community !!!
With a new Year of new Content, Updates and Improvements on the horizon i wanna share my predictions and wishes for 2026, and if you want too, you can share yours aswell !

Patch 9.1 early March 2026
New Trophy Lodge DLC

  • more species added to the special mounts
  • species that use the branch mounts can mounted on every branch regardless of the base Plaque
  • the special mounts can be mounted in a base mount one size smaller then right now Dachshund DLC
    https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1338180466439753839
  • Burrow system applied to Red Fox similar to Badgers
  • European Badger Backfilled to Hirschfelden and Cuatro Colinas
  • American badger added to Layton Lakes and SRP as a new species
  • Masterdog rework: the secondary trait will use the same skills as the dog that added this trait has, after the secondary trait is maxed out the dog can get a third trait, but without the skills

Patch 9.2 mid july
Mongolian Mountains Reserve https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1095853516850991154

  • harvest screen UI rework
  • store UI rework Class system 2.0
  • weapons would now have a ideal and sub-ideal class recommendation
    Ideal class range: as of now
    Sub ideal class range : lets you pass harvest check and keeps the medal, but you would earn less money, XP and weapon scores

I'll countinue in the comments

My prediction for 2026 is that there will be an African map (Uganda 🇺🇬) in summer and an Asian map (Japan 🇯🇵) in winter.

A handful of people are actually dedicating their time to it, but most lose interest after a few days of searching, and there’s still about 100x as many great ones being grinded for each day

#

And why do you wanna shoot scottish wildcats just wait until a later map and hope they add mainland wildcats there’s like 32 genetically pure scottish wildcats left in the wild

Snow leopard is a horrible example snow leopards are vulnerable, making a really good comeback and wildcats don’t even have a chance at a comeback anymore 😭

Add feral cats to Missisipi

Everything looks good especially the European badger backfills
Buuut for the case of american badger I can see EW holding off adding them so they can be a new species for a New NA reserve #1342986300466135050 (hint hint nudge nudge EW 🙏) that will possibly be backfilled to other maps later on
Would like to see more elaboration on the class system 2.0 and harvest screen UI rework maybe a link to a post or thread?
