Cabela goes hunting in North America

The hunt is on in Activision’s 'Cabela's North American Adventures', coming this September for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii. The Wii version will be available as a bundle with the Top Shot, the hunting peripheral that revolutionised the genre.

'Cabela's North American Adventures' gives players the opportunity to experience North America's greatest hunts in over 20 prime hunting locations across the continent.

It introduces fresh touches that hunters will appreciate, including a custom gun builder that allows players the ability to create thousands of gun options with a variety of receivers, stocks, barrels, and scopes. The game also capitalises on the popularity of hunting shows and online videos by adding a cameraman into gameplay - to get compelling footage, hunters need to be at their best. Also, for the first time in franchise history, up to four friends can hunt together online at once. Once the hunt is done, friends can share their scores through online leader boards for bragging rights.

"'Cabela's North American Adventures' integrates real world details shared by Cabela's while focusing on stealth, marksmanship, and mastering a diverse set of hunting skills," said David Oxford of Activision Publishing. "We've refined these core aspects of the sport and added new innovations to extend our franchise's lead in this genre."
