TheHunter: Call of the Wild does have a story. While the game is primarily focused on the hunting experience and open-world exploration, it also offers a narrative element through its DLC content.
One of the DLC packs called “TheHunter: Call of the Wild – Te Awaroa National Park” introduces a story-driven campaign consisting of 16 new missions. These missions allow players to engage with the local environment, tackle various challenges, and uncover the secrets of the park.
Throughout the story missions, players will come across different menaces that threaten the wildlife and ecosystem of Te Awaroa National Park. These menaces could include poachers, invasive species, or other environmental hazards. As the protagonist, you’ll be tasked with dealing with these local threats and restoring balance to the park.
In addition to dealing with external threats, the story also involves patching up relationships between old friends. This adds a personal and emotional aspect to the narrative, allowing players to connect with the characters and their individual journeys.
Furthermore, the story missions in the DLC provide an opportunity to discover the truth behind a long-forgotten legend. This adds a sense of mystery and intrigue to the overall narrative, giving players a deeper reason to explore and engage with the game world.
It’s worth noting that while the story missions are part of the DLC content, the hunting experience in Te Awaroa National Park can still be shared with other players who own the DLC. Even if you don’t own the DLC yourself, you can join someone in multiplayer who does, allowing you to participate in the story-driven missions and experience the narrative aspect of the game.
The inclusion of a story in theHunter: Call of the Wild adds an extra layer of depth and engagement to the game. It provides players with a purpose beyond hunting, allowing them to immerse themselves in a narrative-driven experience while still enjoying the thrill of the hunt in a beautiful and expansive open world.
