Activision’s Cabela’s Alaskan Adventures Takes Aim at Retail Stores Nationwide

The ultimate hunting and fishing adventure to North America’s last great frontier is at gamers’ fingertips with the release of Cabela’s Alaskan Adventures, available now from Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision, Inc. 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.
