Way of the Hunter: Wild America brings open-world hunting to iOS and Android, coming soon

The hunting sub-genre of shooters occupies a unique space within gaming, catering to a specific niche of enthusiasts who enjoy the thrill of the hunt in the Americas. If you've been curious about dipping your toes into this genre, the upcoming mobile release of Way of the Hunter: Wild America might just be the entry point you need. This game, developed by THQ Nordic and brought to mobile by Handy Games, is set to launch soon on both iOS and Android platforms.

Way of the Hunter: Wild America expands the universe of THQ Nordic's recent PC and console hit to mobile devices. Players will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the Pacific Northwest, tracking and hunting a diverse array of wildlife with authentic hunting weapons, from rifles to bows. The game boasts an expansive open world, offering 55 square miles of terrain to explore and master.

One of the standout features of Way of the Hunter: Wild America is its attention to detail. The game simulates natural animal behavior, making the hunt more realistic and challenging. Additionally, the new Hunter Sense feature is designed to enhance your tracking skills, helping you become a more effective hunter.

While the hunting genre may appeal to a relatively narrow audience, the mobile version of Way of the Hunter could attract a significant number of fans. Consider the dads and uncles who traditionally enjoy hunting but may not own a console or PC; they're likely to have a smartphone or tablet at hand. This accessibility could broaden the game's appeal, drawing in players who might not have considered a hunting simulator before.

THQ Nordic has made efforts to streamline the hunting experience, minimizing tedious elements that could detract from the enjoyment of the game. It remains to be seen whether this mobile port will successfully translate these improvements, but the prospects look promising.
