Evaluation
Morels: The Hunt 2 launched on Steam on April 17, 2024 and has received a handful of feature updates and quality-of-life patches since then. The game was also brought to PlayStation 5 on November 14, 2024. The developer, Wes Abrams, navigated serious personal health challenges during this period — including a bone marrow transplant in January 2025 and a subsequent GVHD diagnosis — and was transparent with the community throughout, explaining delays and providing regular updates on his recovery.
By late 2025, the studio had shifted its focus to a new title: Morels: Out of This World. A November 3, 2025 feature patch for Morels: The Hunt 2 was released in tandem with the launch of another Abrams Studios game (Bigfoot Life), and appears to represent the last substantive update to this game. Morels: Out of This World was announced on February 5, 2026 and released on May 28, 2026, at which point the developer celebrated with a 75% discount on Morels: The Hunt 2 and a bundle offer — framing it as a send-off rather than a continuation.
No further updates, DLC, or roadmap items have been announced for Morels: The Hunt 2 since the new game launched. The only DLC on record is the soundtrack, which was released on launch day. The studio's active development attention has clearly moved on to its next title. The game appears to have concluded its update cycle with the November 2025 patch, and the May 2026 new-game release marks the natural conclusion of this chapter.

A note from the developers:
We are a small but very passionate team of brothers. We loved morel mushroom hunting growing up. We still do it every year. One of the greatest things about mushroom hunting is just being out in nature. We take a lot of photos while we are hunting which is how the game came about. We wanted to create an immersive experience of being out in nature, mushroom hunting, and photographing the beautiful environment around you into a game, without having to hunt something with a weapon.Although one of the main goals of the game is to collect mushrooms, it Is Not a mushroom hunter simulator. Morels is an adventure game that focuses equally on mushroom hunting and photographing animals.
