Watch the Hunting Simulator 3 Steam Next Fest Demo Announcement Trailer:
While waiting to experience the game in its final version, which includes more than 35 different species to hunt, two territories of 100 km² each (Colorado and Texas) and 75 weapons and accessories from the world’s leading brands (Remington®, Beretta®, Winchester®, Browning®), players can get a first look at Hunting Simulator 3 through a demo version: they’ll be able to explore the Colorado wilderness in a limited area that’s teeming with wildlife. They’ll also get a sneak peek at the weapons and equipment available in the full version of the game, ranging from hunting rifles to vehicles like the Polaris® Ranger EV UTV.
Accompanied by their faithful hunting dog, players will discover or rediscover the thrills of the leading hunting simulation loved by more than 2 million players worldwide, but this time powered by UE5, which brings out the full richness and beauty of the game’s environments. The improvements over the previous installment aren’t just cosmetic, as NACON Studio Ghent has developed the innovative “SimFauna” system, which faithfully reproduces ecosystems and animal behavior based on the environment and the player’s actions.
