Developer 3T Games, the maker of Ultimate Fishing Simulator, has announced Ultimate Hunting, a new ultra-realistic hunting sim that's playable with up to 16 people in a cooperative hunt.
Ultimate Hunting utilizes Unreal Engine 5 and support ray tracing, DLSS and FSR technologies in order to maximize the visual realism. It features two real-life locations: the California Hunting Reserve and the Southern Africa Hunting Reserve. Its gameplay features include the Random Antler Generation System (RAGS), dynamic need zones, and active camouflage. Its developers promise it will "promote the principles of ethical behavior of hunters."
"Importantly, in Ultimate Hunting, the principles of ethical behavior of hunters will be promoted," says producer and director Rafal Jelonek. "This will be evident, for example, in the situation after hunting a deer - the player can leave the carcass of the animal to attract predators with it, and then hunt it. At the same time, he will receive a penalty for leaving the animal in such a way but he can earn more by hunting those predators or…become a prey."
Ultimate Hunting is due out in 2025 for PC, and will be released later for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and the Nintendo Switch successor. A VR version is also planned. Wishlist it on Steam if you're interested.
