In Ultimate Hunting, players will soon go hunting in California and South Africa.
In the first official trailer for Ultimate Hunting, the simulator shows the beauty of hunting reserves in California and Africa.
Developed in Unreal Engine 5, Ultimate Hunting aims to push the boundaries of realism in hunting games, making every decision and every shot truly tangible.
The game will feature both a solo hunt and a cooperative hunt mode for up to 16 people.
Ultimate Hunting is scheduled to be released in 2025/2026 for PC and later for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and the Nintendo Switch successor. A VR version is also planned.
The multi-person Polish studio 3T Games has been working on Ultimate Hunting since 2021. The publisher of the game on PC and consoles will be Ultimate Games, known among other things for its bestselling series of highly rated fishing games Ultimate Fishing Simulator.
Ultimate Hunting is a realistic open-world hunting simulator with single and multiplayer modes (up to 16 hunters simultaneously) and extensive gameplay such as expedition planning, stealth, tracking or baiting.
Players will have the opportunity to take on the role of hunters who, while exploring nature, will discover the habits of local animals, select suitable animals and admire the richness and diversity of local flora and fauna.
The simulator can be played either in first-person or third-person perspective (FPP/TPP).
Rafal Jelonek, producer and director of the game, who is a hunter himself, says: “Our goal is to capture the pure and true essence of hunting. Ultimate Hunting is a game that is characterized by its realism, which will sometimes be literally brutal. Thanks to the realistic reaction of the animals when shooting, the player will feel even more strongly the weight of his decisions and the importance of every shot he fires.”
“We are also working on a whole range of other mechanics and elements that have not been seen in hunting games before, or have only been seen in a very simplified form, including a Random Antler Generation System (RAGS), dynamic need zones, active camouflage and much more.”
“Within the ecosystem, individual species will react naturally not only to players, but also to other animals, sounds or the current weather. In addition, the need zones of each animal will be dynamic, making each hunt a unique experience.”
The new hunting simulator is being developed in the Unreal Engine 5. This will make hunting in the African savannah or in the giant sequoia forests of California an exciting and unforgettable experience. Ultimate Hunting will also support ray tracing, DLSS and FSR technologies, among others.
California and South Africa as hunting grounds
Players will hunt in two huge areas – the California Hunting Reserve and the Southern African Hunting Reserve. The reserves are based on real locations and the flora and fauna present there will reflect the real conditions in those places. Each map will cover an area of at least 64 km2.
As the developers of the game emphasize, it will be possible to hunt a total of more than 30 different species of animals.
In California, these include California black bears, North American cougars, California mule deer, wild boars, American badgers, western crows, California quail, wood ducks, and more.
In South Africa, however, hunters can find African bush elephants, South African giraffes, Cape hippos, southern lions, Nile crocodiles, southern chacma baboons, Burchell’s zebras, Cape ground squirrels and more. At the same time, the animals are differentiated by sex, age and weight, among other things.
Weapons & Hunting Equipment
Ultimate Hunting offers a wide range of weapons and hunting equipment.
The list includes many variants of firearms (repeat, lever-action, semi-automatic, shotguns and revolvers) and silent weapons (bows and crossbows), various types of baits and lures, optical devices, hunting clothing and footwear, and vehicles.
There will be two aiming modes with the rifle scope (quick aim scope and full scope).
The team at 3T Games also promises advanced weapon customization with additional accessories.
There will also be no shortage of licensed hunting equipment in Ultimate Hunting, including Titan 6 rifles from the Austrian brand Rößler Waffen and camouflage clothing from the American brand Next Camo.
“It is important that in Ultimate Hunting the principles of ethical behavior of hunters are promoted. This is evident, for example, in the situation after hunting a deer – the player can leave the carcass of the animal to attract predators and then hunt it. At the same time, he receives a penalty for leaving the animal like that, but he can earn more by hunting these predators or … becoming prey,” adds Rafal Jelonek.
