It was inspired by the raw natural beauty of northwest Wyoming in the good ol’ U S of A. You’ll be able to boat down tranquil waters or take to exploring the terrain in your off-road vehicle. You can also roam across the sprawling forests and mountain ranges on foot.
You can also share a slice of the Golden Ridge Reserve online with your buddies as Call of the Wild: The Angler™ supports up to 12 players online. Of course, the game also has a single-player mode for those who want a peaceful and quiet life of solitude.

Every catch needs to be exciting, and the path to get there is an adventure. Our team managed to capture an authentic fishing experience, and we can’t wait for people to play,”
