Virtual Hunter’s Virtual Hunter has proven quite popular since it’s 2021 debut. The game, still in Early Access, has been well received, and the confusingly identical developer name hasn’t dampened their commitment to continuous updates. The latest of which, available now, brings a brand new Trophy Lodge to all players.
“In this update we replace the old lodge with a brand new one with more rooms to add your trophies in, new beautiful surrounding landscapes and a reworked archery course nearby,” reads the official statement from Virtual Hunter.
The new lodge is over three times bigger. It features 200 trophy areas, better performance, improved lighting, textures and working doors. You can freely place your taxidermied trophies and make it your dream lodge.

The update also includes overhaul to the UI graphics, improvements and optimizations. The full patch notes are available below.
