Call of the Wild: The Angler: Perch instead of deer

The developers of Expansive Worlds no longer want to limit their games to hunting wild animals that inhabit the forest. The new hunting simulation is therefore aimed at anglers.

Instead of waiting tensely in the bush or on the high seat for the next hunting trophy, it’s now off to the waters. Here scaly treasures lurk in the depths, which, however, are not easy to lift.

Alone or in co-op mode

In Call of the Wild: The Angler, Angels fans can embark on a journey on their own terms and hunt down tropical fish in a wilderness full of surprises to become the ultimate angler. The equipment can be chosen freely and the fishing knowledge can be perfected to make the adventure alone or in co-op unique.
