A surprise announcement has been made and it is currently from the Swedish developer wide worlds. While its digital hunter community is currently waiting for the Hunter Call of the Wild Finland update, a new game has now been introduced. with Call of the wild hunter The studio is now aimed at fishing enthusiasts.

This feature is sure to be on the wish list of many hunter players. The inviting nature of the game and its great atmosphere have always made themselves available for a bit of hunting. It’s unknown if this is due to technical reasons or if you prefer the two game genres to be separated – but Expansive Worlds may have decided to dedicate a completely separate game to the fishing experience.

Call of the Wild The Angler is expected to be released for PC by the end of this year (Microsoft, Steam, Epic Games). Console versions will be announced at a later date. As a direct competitor to popular fishing games like Russian fishing 4 Players must be able to move freely on land and water in the huge game world and go on a fishing tour with up to 12 people in a cooperative mode.

COTW The Angler Trailer:

In the COTW hunter The trailer, the narrator’s brave voice actually makes us curious:

“What is so special about this hobby that pushes you deep into the wilderness?
Is it freedom?
Searching for the perfect job?

Make your way through the hills.
Enjoy the cool waters of our lakes and rivers.
Spend time on the water, at sunrise, with friends.

After sunset, you help the residents.
And keep coming back.

You now have a good sense of what lies beneath the surface.
But there is only one way to find out.
It doesn’t matter if you catch a great catch or he eludes you.

This feeling will not let you go.
Whether this is the first time or the hundredth.

You never know what your next catch will be
Until it finally bites.”

Which appears in the trailer Golden Ridge Reserve Very similar to the already known cards from The Hunter Call of the Wild – but it looks like a new environment. Schematically, the titles are also roughly equal. Both games use the internal Apex engine. There may have been a little new cell therapy, because some of the effects look new – but that could also be due to the reworked trailer.

This is waiting for you

At The Angler, you can move freely through the area, either on foot, by 4×4 or by boat. With a particularly intuitive throwing style, hunting should be a particularly captivating experience. Each type of fish should have its own behavior and characteristics. This requires players to carefully control their movements when retrieving the reel. As for the environment, Expansive Worlds has developed a complex system that realistically simulates water temperatures, depths, altitudes, and more. Based on these criteria, it should be possible to determine where the fish are in real life. Every moment should become a permanent memory.

In Call of the Wild The Angler, players will learn to master different hunting techniques and develop their own strategies to take down even the most impressive hunt. You should be able to reference a large selection of rods and other equipment. The language is from a growing collection of reels, lines, floats, hooks, baits, and lures. On your way to becoming a master hunter, you must combine the perfect preparation of equipment and gradually tackle exciting fishing challenges.

Ongoing support

With this announcement, developer Expansive Worlds is already committed to providing long-term support. Regular updates aim to expand the game and always provide new experiences. It can be assumed that the successful concept of Hunter COTW will be followed here. Accordingly, we can expect new updates regularly, but we have also pushed out DLCs.

conclusion

Fans of The Hunter may have mixed feelings about the new title. If you’re looking forward to TheHunter COTW’s boat canopies for the first time, which allow at least a rudimentary “check” of the water, Angler is just a few steps ahead. A mechanism one might wish for in a sim hunting. The most complete experience would certainly be a mixture of both systems in one game – there was probably a similar overlap in the target groups. But it can be assumed that the Expansive Realms will want to take a slightly different path with The Angler. We can certainly be curious, and if you not only love fishing, but also enjoy hunting, then you should definitely keep an eye on the address.

By the way: The naming of the new fishing game is a bit cute. Perhaps the name of the Hunter franchise was a bad place to start, because hunting doesn’t usually talk about hunting. That’s why developers are likely to rely on the Call of the Wild extension. According to the label, one will likely have it too Angel: Call of the Wild You could do, but that’s not the case. Maybe later we’ll find out why they made a different decision about the Expansive Realms.
