Expansive Worlds<\/a> is building upon its successful hunting sim theHunter: Call of the Wild<\/em><\/a> with a new open-world fishing game later this year, and while solitude can really fit the serene side of this hobby, sometimes, it’s just plain better with friends. In the upcoming PC and console game Call of the Wild: The Angler<\/em>, you’ll be able to fish with 11 other players in online co-op, which sounds all sorts of cozy. Who’s the Jeremy Wade of your group?<\/p> <\/iframe><\/p> “Call of the Wild: The Angler <\/em>represents a new vision from our team that goes beyond what you\u2019d expect from a fishing game in a lot of fun ways,” said game director said Paul Rustchynsky. “Whether you love the thrill of the sport or the quiet joy of exploring the outdoors, this is an experience that\u2019s great to enjoy on your own or shared with friends.”<\/p> The game has customizable reels, lines, floats, hooks, lures, and bait, according to the developers, so you can build out a collection of gear and show off your toys, if that’s your style. Or you can be quietly judgy. Aside from hiking and boating, there will be off-road-vehicle traversal, and the fishing gameplay is described as “engaging” yet “accessible.”<\/p> One more confirmation: online co-op is drop-in, drop-out, which is ideal.<\/p> Expansive Worlds and Avalanche Studios Group haven’t said which consoles they’re supporting with Call of the Wild: The Angler<\/em>, but theHunter: Call of the Wild<\/em> is on PlayStation and Xbox \u2014 it’s actually a part of Game Pass<\/a> right now too, if you’re curious. In terms of PC platforms, though, Steam<\/a>, the Epic Games Store, and the Microsoft Store are a lock.<\/p> Coming to PC and consoles in 2022<\/h2>
