Minneapolis, MN (September 22, 2006) - Activision today announced that
Cabela’s Alaskan Adventures is now shipping.
From Activision:
Designed with the sportsman in mind, the game immerses players in Alaska’s
outback and for the first time ever allows them to track trophy animals, fish,
hunt birds, ride a dog sled and compete in various outdoor-themed contests.
“In Cabela’s Alaskan Adventures, players set out to capture the ultimate trophy
in one of America’s most pristine environments,” states Dave Oxford, Activision
Publishing, Inc. “The game features a wide variety of hunting and fishing
expeditions that will challenge and entertain even the most seasoned
outdoorsmen. This game sets the standard by which all hunting/fishing titles
will be measured.”
Players will use a combination of skill and strategy to complete 38 hunting and
fishing adventures across 12 vast Alaskan regions from the North Slope to
Ketchikan. With more customization than ever before, each adventure begins at an
Alaskan outpost where players choose from thousands of gear options including
rifles, shotguns, bows and arrows, fishing tackle, clothing, scents, calls and
more. Gamers are also able to go exploring or get to their next hunting spot by
choosing to ride a snowmobile, truck or ATV. With more than 20 species of the
most sought after Alaskan Trophy Game including Yukon Moose, Barren Ground
Caribou, Grizzly and Kodiak Bears, Roosevelt Elk, Dall Sheep, Sitka Black-Tailed
Deer, and 10 different species of Alaskan fish, including Sockeye Salmon, Dolly
Varden and Arctic Char, hunters and fisherman alike will be challenged for hours
in the virtual Alaskan wild.
Currently in retail stores nationwide, Cabela’s Alaskan Adventures is the first
title for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft to
combine the thrill of the hunt with the challenge of fishing. The game is also
available now for the PlayStation®2. Both versions are rated “T” (Teen) by the
ESRB and are available for suggested retail prices of $39.99 for Xbox 360 and
$29.99 for Playstation2.
