Hello Kado Hunters!
We have exciting news regarding the future of Kado Hunter. To grow our community, we’ve decided: Kado Hunter will soon be Free-to-Play!
Before we open the gates to everyone, we want to thank those who have supported us from the beginning. That’s why we’re holding our last big sale before the transition.
Everyone who already owns Kado Hunter or purchases it during this sale will automatically receive the following exclusive rewards with the major F2P rework:
Limited Pioneer Badge: A unique badge for your profile, marking you as an early supporter forever.
Exclusive Founder Pet: A loyal companion that cannot be purchased in the shop or in-game after the F2P launch. This pet automatically collects loot and gatherables for you!
Gold Bonus: Start the rework with a hefty sack of gold to pull some KADOS right away!
Once the game switches to Free-to-Play, these specific items will never be available again. This is your last chance to secure your "Supporter Since Day 1" status and support the game at a fraction of the cost.
Note: All current owners of the game will receive these bonuses automatically with the rework update! You don’t need to do anything but stay part of our journey.
Join our Discord if you have any questions or feedback.
Thank you for your support – see you on the hunt! - The Kado Hunter Team
