“We’re very excited to finally launch the Community Challenges and see how fast our players can complete the goals we set for them,” says Ruben Malmer, a Game Designer on theHunter: Call of the Wild. “We’re eager to see what they can achieve when they have the chance to work together like this.“
Building on a Strong Foundation
These new additions build upon an already compelling hunting experience. As our review of theHunter: Call of the Wild 2021 Edition (awarding it a 4/5) stated: “theHunter: Call of the Wild 2021 Edition on Xbox is a game that I have really enjoyed. The slow pace and deliberate way you have to approach the hunts are a welcome change of pace from the frenetic games that frequent the marketplace, the vistas are beautiful, and the approach to your prey needs to be bang on if you are to stand a chance of seeing anything other than a retreating derriere.”
The new rifles and challenges add even more depth and replayability to this immersive hunting simulation.
