Big Game Excitement Just Got Bigger! MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 21
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Activision Publishing, Inc. (NASDAQ:ATVI)
announced today that Cabela's Big Game Hunter 2010 will be released
September 29 in North America for Wii(TM), Xbox 360 video game and
entertainment system from Microsoft, and PLAYSTATION 3 computer
entertainment system. The Wii(TM) version can be purchased with the
innovative Top Shot hunting peripheral, packaged with the game. In
Cabela's Big Game Hunter 2010, the player must combine precision,
guts, and technology to earn a place among world's most respected
hunters. "We are elevating the first person action hunting genre
because it's what fans demand," said David Oxford, Activision
Publishing. "Skill, extreme danger, real world equipment - you get
all of that in Cabela's Big Game Hunter 2010, and it all takes
place in stunningly rendered outdoor environments packed with
animals that look and act like the real thing." In Cabela's Big
Game Hunter 2010, players seek "Super Hunter" status aiming to take
their "game" to the next level and join the ranks of hunting's best
of the best -- a club where it takes much more than tall tales to
gain respect. Players must prove their fearlessness and ability by
successfully bagging the largest trophies in the world's most
rugged regions. The most prized animals can only be reached by
climbing cliffs, crossing raging rivers, and facing countless more
perilous situations. Brand new elements, such as rewards for
successfully using cover to progress through missions and a VITALS
system which helps players visualize the perfect shot, promise to
make this the most fun and action-packed Cabela's game yet. The Top
Shot peripheral for Wii adds a new level of realism in
heart-pounding hunting adventures - just take a few seconds to load
the Wii Remote(TM) and Nunchuk(TM) and you're ready to put the
trophy buck of a lifetime in your crosshairs. In addition, the
Wii(TM) version includes 13 arcade style shooting galleries,
including 4-person multiplayer. "Activision's dedication to the
hunting genre is real and the Cabela's crowd has responded, year
after year," Bryan Stave of Cabela's. "It has been inspiring to
work with them on Cabela's Big Game Hunter 2010 - we can't wait for
September!" For more information visit http://www.activision.com/.
