The Wilderness of Transylvania Awaits

Way of the Hunter – Wild Europe Launches Today on Mobile

Giebelstadt, Germany, January 13th, 2026: HandyGames is proud to announce that Way of the Hunter - Wild Europe is now officially available for download on the Apple App Store and Google Play. This definitive mobile port of the acclaimed simulation originally developed by Nine Rocks Games brings the complete, high-fidelity hunting experience from PC and consoles to the palm of your hand.

Way of the Hunter - Wild Europe invites players to leave the modern world behind and step into the untamed splendor of Eastern Europe. From the misty, ancient forests to the sun-drenched grasslands of Transylvania, every inch of this vast open world has been crafted to provide a deeply immersive tribute to the natural world and the lifestyle of an ethical hunter.

Following the franchise’s hallmark realism, Wild Europe features a living ecosystem that breathes with life. Track 15 meticulously detailed species, including the elusive brown bear, the agile chamois, and the majestic red deer, each behaving with lifelike animations and reactions to the shifting winds and dynamic weather. Whether navigating rocky peaks or lush valleys, players will find a world that rewards patience, skill, and a deep respect for the environment.

  • Modern Mobile Integration: Choose your preferred way to play with intuitive touch controls or full gamepad support, alongside an enhanced photo mode to capture the wild’s most stunning moments.

Way of the Hunter - Wild Europe is more than a simulation; it is a journey into the heart of the wild. The game is now available for download on the Apple App Store and Google Play, both as a free try-and-buy version and a full-featured direct purchase, priced at USD 9.99 / € 9,99 / £ 8.49.
