by Rainier on July 26, 2023 @ 9:36 a.m. PDT

The tension, excitement, and thrill of the hunt is finally presented through the lens of a highly experienced, ethical huntsman in Way Of The Hunter.

This authentic hunting experience lets you explore and hunt in large open-world environments in the USA and Europe. Discover true-to-life animals in beautiful natural habitats and handle various detailed and highly realistic weapons. Face the challenges of ethical hunting, supported by a compelling story, or simply enjoy hunting the rich environments freely.

Players will take on the role of a seasoned hunter who has just taken over his grandfather’s hunting cabin and the opportunity to proceed with the family tradition of selling high-quality game meat. A variety of biomes provide the player with a vast area of beautiful nature to explore. The hunter is challenged with observing animal tracks while carefully stalking and avoiding detection from the razor-sharp senses of his prey

Way Of The Hunter’s large selection of authentic hunting equipment and weapons, including licensed guns and scopes, are amplified by realistic handling of firearms and bullet physics. The game features two, vast, open-world hunting territories – one in the U.S. and one in Europe – each 55 square miles (144 km²) in size and boasting its own simulated wildlife ecosystem.

Co-op multiplayer mode allows players to venture out into awe-inspiring nature and share the thrill of the chase during their greatest hunting adventures.

The Tikamoon Plains DLC for Way of the Hunter is coming on August 11, 2023 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S at $ 9.99 / € 9.99 / £ 7.99. The base game Way of the Hunter is required to play. 

Explore diverse landscapes, from windy mountains to deadly deserts and vast savannahs teeming with life. Join Malachi, a professional hunting guide, as he leads a group of adventurers through the thrilling world of Tikamoon Plains, inspired by the African wilderness. Equip yourself with a wide selection of firearms, hunting bows and gear, to hunt for the best trophies and decorate your hunting lodge while immersing yourself in the daily routines of unique wildlife.

Welcome to Tikamoon Plains!

Whether you explore by car, UTV, or on foot, Tikamoon Plains will offer you a surprising range of biomes. From lush, green grasslands and river-side forests in the southeast, to the dry Savannahs with scattered trees and bushes, to the mountainous and desert regions in the west.

Abundant Wildlife

Life flourishes throughout Tikamoon Plains, particularly in the grasslands, where water sources attract various species like Black Wildebeests, Common Warthogs, and Egyptian Geese. In these Grasslands, you may also encounter mighty Cape buffalos, although they primarily inhabit the Savannahs, where they search for food and find shade under trees.

Observing Blue wildebeests, Gemsboks, and Spotted Hyenas in their natural habitats is truly impressive, but be cautious, as the king of the animal kingdom, the lion, controls the the plains.

The Grasslands and Deserts are home to animals like the Greater Kudu but if you venture into the mountains, you're more likely to find animals like the Honey Badgers

Even the desert areas present hunting opportunities, despite their mysterious and deadly nature. The swift and agile Gemsboks thrive in this dry environment, and you may also encounter Spotted hyenas who have adapted special skills to survive.

A New Way of the Hunter Experience

Each hunting ground in the Way of the Hunter offers a unique experience, but Tikamoon Plains introduces entirely new African environments, including the Savannah and Deserts. Additionally, bows have been added as a new class of weapons and require a different hunting approach compared to firearms. Exercise caution when using them, hunter.

Maybe it's a good time to check out the Way of the Hunter Season Pass. It includes the upcoming Tikamoon Plains DLC as well as the already released Aurora Shores DLC, each offering a new, vast region and coming with new animals and weapons. Also, the Way of the Hunter Hunter's Pack is included in the Season Pass. It's available at an SRP of $ 19.99 / € 19.99 / £ 15.99 - but please check the info about the Steam Summer Sale below!
