There’s a calmness to Wolf Pack – Howling Spirits that you don’t often see. It doesn’t rush you, it doesn’t overwhelm you, and it certainly doesn’t throw constant action your way. Instead, it invites you into its world and lets you take things at your own pace, one pawstep at a time. But hey, we wouldn’t expect anything else from an EpiXR Games game.
Now available on Xbox Series X|S for £8.39, the latest from EpiXR Games builds on the studio’s habit of delivering more reflective experiences – games like the prolific Aery series – this time focusing on exploration, connection, and a journey that unfolds through dreams as much as reality.

A World To Wander, Not Rush Through
You take on the role of a young wolf, chosen for a task that feels both simple and meaningful – find your scattered kin and bring them back together.
The world you explore is wide and varied, stretching across forests, lakes, ruins, and even quiet human settlements. It’s not built around constant objectives or heavy guidance. Instead, it encourages you to look around, take your time, and piece things together naturally.
That slower pace is very much the point. And you should know the drill if you’ve played any game from EpiXR previously.
Dreams Within The Journey
The twist comes in how you reunite your pack. Each wolf you find isn’t just waiting to be collected. They’re lost in their own dreams, shaped by their past and the things they’ve experienced.
To wake them, you’ll need to step into those dreamscapes.
These sections shift the gameplay in interesting ways. One moment you might be navigating platforming challenges, the next solving puzzles or escaping from something chasing you through a surreal environment.
Strength In Numbers
As you awaken more wolves, your pack begins to grow, and that growth has a tangible impact.
New abilities and strengths open up, letting you explore further and access areas that were previously out of reach. It’s a steady sense of progression that ties directly into the story being told.
You’re not just getting stronger. You’re building something.
A Quiet Adventure With A Clear Purpose
At £8.39, this isn’t a game trying to compete on scale or spectacle. Instead, it offers something more focused; a journey about connection, growth, and bringing something broken back together.
It’s the kind of experience you settle into rather than rush through. And if that sounds like your kind of thing, there’s plenty here worth exploring. The Xbox Store awaits, providing the download you need for Xbox Series X|S play.
