About Deer Hunter VR

It’s open season and the most popular hunting franchise on mobile is coming to the Oculus virtual reality platform! Immerse yourself in the fun and excitement of Deer Hunter within a 360-degree virtual reality environment. Experience the sights and sounds of walking through the lush forests of the Pacific Northwest as ducks fly overhead, then travel to the dusty plains of the Central African Savannah as you hunt the world’s most exotic animals! Look around the entire landscape and seek out your prey, but watch out for attacking predators including bears, wolves, and cheetahs! Enjoy virtually endless customization of your weapons as you upgrade magazines, scopes, stocks, barrels and more. Collect trophies and earn bragging rights as you bag the biggest animals.

Featuring a user interface and controls built exclusively for the Samsung Gear VR, players can zoom in, aim, shoot, swap weapons, and reload with intuitive head tracking and touch gestures. Use head tracking to look around the environments as you would in the real world. Shift your position to get a better view with a simple head tilt. Once a target is located, zoom in, turn on infrared for higher accuracy and take the shot, using the Samsung Gear VR touchpad controls.

Glu will provide additional details on the development, pricing, and availability of Deer Hunter VR at a later date.
