theHunter: Primal is a standalone expansion to an online hunting simulator, prepared for PC in collaboration between small Swedish studio Expansive Words and the experienced team at Avalanche Studios (Just Cause creators). This title was prepared in part by the team who worked on the original theHunter. Unlike that game, distributed as a free-to-play title, this expansion comes with a pricetag.

Mechanics

Gameplay combines classic elements of hunting simulators, like the Deer Hunter series, and multiplayer-focused online games. In theHunter: Primal for PC you traverse a vast open world, teaming with life and realistically behaving fauna. Unlike the original game, in which you would track and hunt various species of animals living in our days, theHunter: Primal introduces dinosaurs — in harmony with the recent fashion, thanks to which the prehistoric reptiles are enjoying their second youth in video games. In the game you can encounter a whole lot of dinosaurs, starting from the smaller, agile ones all the way through to really heavy giants.
