Expansive Worlds

Expansive Worlds is a Swedish game studio founded in 2009 that has focused on developing realistic hunting simulators since its inception. The studio is part of the Avalanche Studios Group and is best known for the theHunter series, which ranks among the most successful hunting games in the world.

It achieved its greatest recognition thanks to the title theHunter: Call of the Wild, which offers players vast open nature reserves, authentic animal behavior, sophisticated ballistics, and dynamic changes in weather and time of day. The studio has built on this success with long-term support for the game through new maps, weapons, equipment, and other expansions.

The studio’s philosophy is to create the most realistic simulation of actual hunting possible. Players must track animal trails, take wind direction into account, and choose the right weapons and appropriate tactics. Patience, observation of the surroundings, and respect for nature play an important role—which sets Expansive Worlds’ games apart from typical action titles.

In addition to the modern theHunter: Call of the Wild, the studio is also behind the online simulator theHunter Classic, which still maintains an active player community today. Thanks to continuous development and an emphasis on realistic gameplay, Expansive Worlds has built a strong following among simulation fans.

If you’re looking for an authentic hunting experience set in a beautifully rendered natural environment, games from Expansive Worlds are among the best choices on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
