Expansive Worlds announced that Rancho del Arroyo, the all-new reserve for its theHunter: Call of the Wild hunting game, is coming soon to PC (Steam), PS4 and Xbox One for $7,99/7,99€. 

Inspired by the grandiose Sonoran Desert of Northern Mexico, Rancho del Arroyo features five unique new animal species, including the community requested Pheasant, a versatile new pump-action shotgun, harsh, yet beautiful biomes to explore, and a thrilling story that involves uncovering a century-old family mystery.

Additionally, bird hunting enthusiasts will encounter an exciting new animal behavior called “Flushing” - when pushing pheasants into open areas, or towards another hunter or Bloodhound, players can strategically move them out of their hiding spots and cause them to fly away (“flush”), making way for the perfect shot!

He continued, “With a vast new reserve to explore, filled with unique animal species, an exciting new update to gameplay, and a powerful addition to the weapon arsenal, we can't wait to hear about the adventures our players will carve out under the desert sun in Rancho del Arroyo.”
