The hunting sub-genre within shooters caters to a unique audience, particularly those fascinated by the hunting experience in the Americas. If you've ever been intrigued by this niche, the upcoming mobile release of Way of the Hunter: Wild America might just pique your interest. Developed by THQ Nordic and brought to mobile by Handy Games, this game is set to launch soon on both iOS and Android platforms.
Way of the Hunter: Wild America translates the immersive hunting experience from its PC and console counterparts to mobile devices. Players will have the opportunity to utilize an array of authentic hunting tools, including rifles and bows, to track and hunt a diverse array of Pacific Northwest wildlife. The game promises an expansive playground, with 55 square miles of terrain to explore, allowing players to truly immerse themselves in the hunt.
One of the standout features is the realistic simulation of animal behavior, enhancing the challenge and authenticity of tracking your prey. Additionally, the new Hunter Sense feature aims to enrich the hunting mechanics, making the experience more engaging and less tedious. This attention to detail is likely to appeal to both seasoned hunters and newcomers looking to dip their toes into the hunting simulation genre.
Scouting for bucks The mobile version of Way of the Hunter could attract a new segment of players, particularly those who may not have access to gaming consoles or PCs but own smartphones or tablets. This could include the dads and uncles who enjoy real-life hunting but are looking for a digital alternative. Whether this will broaden the appeal of the hunting genre remains to be seen, but THQ Nordic's efforts to streamline the hunting experience are promising, and we hope this is reflected in the mobile port.
