At the dawn of its release, scheduled for August 16the hunting simulation Way of the Hunter is revealed more in a long video of more than 9 minutes. We learn that the player will play the grandson of the boss of a small food business start-up. For health reasons, Grandpa unfortunately has to rest. And it’s up to you to take over the business, putting into practice all the tricks that Grandfather gave you during his long evenings by the fire.
You will have the opportunity to roam quietly in two huge maps of 144km² each. If in real life, it will soon be just a memory, Way of the Hunter will offer to discover – alone or in cooperation, the forests of the northwest coast of the United States and those of Transylvania. But no time to be silly, because in order to meet the demands of local restaurateurs (sic), you will quickly have to bring back enough to make a deer tartare or a gray wolf steak.
The approximately 5,000 animals present in the game will each have their own daily routines and will, like you, be subject to a day/night cycle. Be careful not to abuse the trigger, because if you hunt a species without moderation, it will end up moving and you will have to investigate once more where it lives. Fortunately, you can rely on your hunter senses allowing you to follow the traces of blood and other clues. And don’t worry if you’re worried regarding getting sore feet, there will be quick trips or even an all-terrain vehicle available.
For the rest, nothing surprising with, for example, a whole bunch of guns of all kinds that will be more or less appropriate for this or that species, calls, advanced ballistics management and detailed statistics to improve your shots.
Way of the Hunter débarquera on Steam from August 16.
