Way of the Hunter, developed by Nine Rocks Games and published by THQ Nordic, has sold over one million copies. Its successor, Way of the Hunter 2, will build on this success.
THQ Nordic unveiled Way of the Hunter 2, formerly known as Next Hunting Adventure. This next hunting simulation has been built from the ground up with brand new technology. Developed by Nine Rocks Games, which is headquartered in Bratislava, it introduces a loyal hunting companion to aid players on their hunts. "Your dog is the perfect tracker, helping you locate animal signs or follow the trails of fleeing animals. Through constant training and exercise, your companion will improve over time, learning to reliably respond to your commands - becoming not only an invaluable tool in the field, but also your trusted adventure Buddy," the developers say.
The first hunting ground in Way of the Hunter 2 is set in the vast Canadian wilderness. This area is home to big game such as moose, elk, bears and bison, as well as smaller animals like rabbits, turkeys and various bird species. Players take on the role of the new hunter in town and are tasked with assisting a local warden in investigating unusual behaviour within the moose population across two environments.
"A vastly improved bullet camera allows you to analyze each shot in detail, helping you refine your technique and achieve the perfect shot. The new Hunting Lodge serves as a central hub where you can showcase your trophies, unlock important upgrades, and plan your next adventures. Each territory features its own unique lodge, allowing you to visualize your achievements across every hunting ground." - THQ Nordic
Way of the Hunter 2 features gear from over ten real-world brand partners, including hunting rifles, high-tech equipment, and apparel. Although no release date has yet been announced, THQ Nordic says it may be sooner than players expect.
