Emote Games and Avalanche Studios Announce ‘The Hunter’
New Free to Play Online Hunting Game Merges Realistic Hunting Action With Social Network Functionality
Description
The Hunter features an incredibly realistic and visually detailed hunting
environment with true to life animal behaviors. Uniquely, the game gives players
the social network tools and web interface to build an online community of
hunters, all of whom experience the thrill of the hunt within a connected
environment.
Players can track and hunt a huge variety of animals from small varmints to big
game and is packed full of challenges, tournaments and competitions, allowing
the gamer to work closely with other players to complete objectives while
striving for that perfect shot and that record buck.
By using the social interface to post journal entries and images of their latest
trophies, players can show their in-game hunts to their friends and the wider
online community. Thanks to its online presence, The Hunter will continually
evolve with regular updates and the release of new features, including new
missions, hunting gear, animals and varied hunting terrains and habitats. Most
importantly, the development team behind The Hunter is committed to maintaining
an ongoing dialogue with its online community to contribute ideas and
suggestions for the game to make it the most realistic hunting experience
available.
