The hunting sub-genre of shooters is unique, catering to a specific niche of enthusiasts who are drawn to the thrill of tracking and hunting in the Americas. For those intrigued by this experience, the upcoming mobile game, Way of the Hunter: Wild America, could be your next adventure. Developed by THQ Nordic and ported to iOS and Android by Handy Games, this title brings the immersive hunting experience from PC and consoles to your fingertips.
In Way of the Hunter: Wild America, players can utilize a wide range of authentic hunting weapons, including rifles and bows, to pursue various species of Pacific Northwest wildlife. The game offers a vast playground for hunters, with 55 square miles of open terrain to explore. This expansive environment is populated with realistically simulated animals, enhancing the authenticity of your hunting expeditions. Additionally, the game introduces new features such as Hunter Sense, designed to improve your tracking and hunting skills.
While the hunting genre might appeal to a limited audience, the mobile version of Way of the Hunter is poised to attract fans, particularly those who may not have access to gaming consoles or PCs but own smartphones or tablets. This could be especially appealing to the dads and uncles who enjoy hunting in real life and are looking for a way to continue their passion in a digital format. THQ Nordic has made efforts to streamline the hunting experience, reducing the more tedious elements, and we hope this focus on player engagement will carry over into the mobile port.
As we await the release of Way of the Hunter: Wild America, it's worth considering whether this game can capture a broader audience. Only time will tell.
