About the game

Discover an authentic hunting game in a dynamic open world where the wild reacts to your every move. Master the hunt by tracking prey and staying prepared for unscripted encounters. Explore on your own or with friends.

Explore an authentic open world hunting experience, set in a dynamic environment teeming with life. The wild offers constant, unscripted encounters, continuously responding to your presence.

A LIVING, BREATHING WILDERNESS

Journey across the rugged Layton Lake District in North America or explore the leafy European landscapes of Hirschfelden. Discover a diverse range of regions, each home to its own unique flora and fauna. Experience the dynamics of complex animal behavior, changing weather events, full day and night cycles, highly realistic acoustics, and scents carried by the wind.

YOUR HUNT, YOUR CHOICE

Choose your rifle, sidearm, shotgun, or bow with care, matching your loadout and ammunition to your prey. From jackrabbits and mallards to black bears, elk, and moose, every hunt demands its own approach. Read unique animal behaviors, adapt to the environment, and make your shot count.

HONOR THE HUNT

Every hunt has a unique story to tell, and some you might want to remember forever. Display your most prized harvests in your trophy lodge, and preserve those memories for years to come.

ALWAYS EVOLVING

Developed in close collaboration with the community and shaped by years of player feedback, theHunter: Call of the Wild keeps evolving to offer an authentic hunting experience. With regular updates of free and paid content, including new reserves and equipment, the hunt you return to is never quite the one you left.

TOGETHER IN THE WILD

Experience online multiplayer for up to eight players in breathtaking hunting reserves. Collaborate and strategize with friends, or compete to take down the most impressive harvest. You can access any paid DLC reserve as long as one member of your hunting party owns it.

EXPAND YOUR HUNTING EXPERIENCE

Take your journey further with a collection of paid content. Choose from 18 global reserves, stretching from frozen northern land, to dry African plains to dense jungle rivers. Experience new ways of hunting with equipment like precision modern rifles or classic black-powder weapons, and adapt to the trail with ATVs, mobile tents, ground blinds, and hunting dogs. The path ahead is as wide as you choose to make it.
