505 Games U.S. and Field & Stream, the world’s leading outdoor magazine, today announced that Field & Stream: Total Outdoorsman Challenge is now available on the Xbox 360™ videogame and entertainment system from Microsoft. In Field & Stream: Total Outdoorsman Challenge, players master a variety of authentic hunting skills, including bullet trajectory, weapon aim and expert tracking techniques on their quest to become the ‘Total Outdoorsman’.
“Field & Stream: Total Outdoorsman Challenge is a hunting sim created to meet the outstanding expectations of the respected brand behind it,” said Adam Kline, president of 505 Games U.S. “With this new title, hunting game fans and loyal readers of Field & Stream can now hone their skills in a year-round hunting season that offers more realistic gameplay and more big game than ever before.”
Field & Stream: Total Outdoorsman Challenge drives players to sharpen their sixth sense and test their mettle against the great outdoors to ultimately earn the coveted title of ‘Total Outdoorsman’. Through a true-to-life, first-person perspective, players will track over 30 big and small game species on land and in the air across authentic environments featuring realistic wildlife activity and varying weather conditions. To become the ultimate tracker, gamers must listen for animal calls, search the ground for tracks, and use ‘Scent Vision’ to spot and hunt their prey. Players can close in on targets using special scents and decoys, as well as permanent hideouts and vantage points as their hunting skills become more advanced.
“Now whether you’re in the woods or in the comfort of your own home, you will be able to test your skills to see if you have what it takes to be a Total Outdoorsman,” said Eric Zinczenko, group publisher of Field & Stream. “Our staff worked hard to ensure the game portrays realistic hunting scenarios and players are really going to see the impact of their input in Field & Stream: Total Outdoorsman Challenge.”
Virtual hunters and marksmen will test their worth in the outdoors in both serious and casual modes. Beginning with Practice Mode, players must work to perfect their aim with skeet shooting, a first step for any great hunter. Free Hunt Mode allows gamers to hunt any animal without restrictions, regulations or licenses. Ultimate Hunt Mode lets players truly experience the thrill of the hunt with challenging gameplay requiring players to use traditional tracking and stalking techniques to hunt prize catches and brave the wilderness.
Field & Stream: Total Outdoorsman Challenge is rated T for Teen by the ESRB and is available now for Xbox 360 for $19.99. For more information, please visit:
