Developed as a derivative of Expansive Worlds’ theHunter series, Call of the Wild: The Angler is an open-world fishing simulator that lets players live out their fishing fantasies in real-world-inspired locations in either solo or multiplayer gameplay. From the game’s Steam page:

Experience the freedom of fishing in a vast open world inspired by real-life locations. Travel through the varied and atmospheric environments by boat, off-road vehicle, or on foot, and discover hidden ponds, tranquil lakes, and local points of interest. Whatever you decide to do, every trip will have you coming back for more.

Fishing in the open world is as fun as it is challenging. Each species has its own individual behaviors and traits, which influence what bait they’re attracted to, how they fight when hooked, and what actions they can perform to try to escape. Combined with a system that spawns fish relative to water depth, time of day, and temperature, every spot offers a unique challenge. Master different fishing techniques to land the most impressive catch. Purchase tackle and build custom fishing rigs using a wide selection of rods, reels, lures, hooks, floats, and jigheads. Create your angler and customize their look and attributes. Complete challenges to earn rewards and uncover the open world through meaningful story missions.

Relax at your favorite spot on your own or ride the open waters with friends in online co-op multiplayer for up to 12 players. Meet other anglers and create memories that will last a lifetime. You can also play offline for a peaceful solo experience.

Call of the Wild: The Angler is coming this summer to the aforementioned consoles as a port developed by a different team, and with crossplay functionality for all platforms. Read into the game’s latest update here, which included a number of new features and quality-of-life improvements.
