[Watch] Hunting Simulator shows off its ‘open wild’ in first official gameplay trailer

Back in February, French developer Neopica and European publisher Bigben Interactive officially revealed Hunting Simulator to the world, a game the duo is calling a "true hunting simulation." Today, Bigben released the game's debut trailer on their official YouTube channel, which shows off the game's "open wild" and a peek at the co-op gameplay.

Players will be able to team up with three other hunters across a plethora of different regions including the mountains of Colorado, the forests of France and the snowy plains of Alaska. Each region will feature a diverse set of hunting objectives as well as force players to contend with each area's different characteristics of geography, climate, and topography.

When you jump into a game with friends, each player in the hunting party will have different roles to play. Analyzing tracks, locating the animal, cornering it, and planning your shots all require a degree of coordination to pull off successfully.

Here's the official feature list for Hunting Simulator courtesy of an official press release:

• One of the most essential hunting-game bestiaries with 37 species of animals set in 12 vast hunting areas.
• Hundreds of objectives across three game modes: campaign, free hunt, and shooting practice.
• All the necessaries for hunting: rifles, crossbows, long bows, as well as lures, hunting calls and wind indicators.
• Online co-op mode for up to 4 players to begin the adventure with 3 hunting partners.
• For the first time, the ability to use a drone in a hunting game to survey the environment and your surroundings.

Hunting Simulator is due to release sometime this summer on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
