Way of the Hunter is in development for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S, THQ Nordic and Nine Rocks Games have announced.
The animal hunting romp looks set to combine open-world environments with rich storytelling and ballistic simulation, and its team features a number of ‘skilled professionals’ who worked on the likes of DayZ and Cabela’s hunting titles. We’re also promised co-op multiplayer, although a release date hasn’t been announced yet.
David Durack, CEO of Nine Rocks Games, commented:
With Way of the Hunter, we are going to start a new franchise. The Way of the Hunter franchise finally gives this expansive audience of players a hunting experience as rich in story-telling as it is realistic in ballistic simulation. To create the best game possible, we’ve assembled a seasoned team of skilled professionals, who worked on games like DayZ or the Cabela’s hunting games before.

The game features authentic hunting equipment and weapons, and players will have to master a variety of licensed firearms while adapting to realistic bullet physics.
