The evolution of the Deer Hunter franchise is coming soon

Glu Mobile Inc. GLUU, a leading developer and publisher of mobile games, today announced it is developing the next generation of the company's successful Deer Hunter franchise. The game is currently being developed by the same studio behind Glu's Tap Sports Baseball franchise, the #1 Top Grossing baseball game on mobile. The upcoming mobile shooter looks to build upon the success of previous Deer Hunter titles which have generated more than a quarter billion downloads since Glu acquired the IP in 2012.

With the addition of high fidelity graphics as well as brand new social and competitive features to deepen player engagement and drive community – the new title aims to offer the most immersive and authentic hunting experience on mobile.

"The game will incorporate updated graphics and animations, more opportunities for player progression and collection, and a deeper meta layer alongside an existing and proven game mechanic that our fans love," said Glu CEO Nick Earl. "We're looking forward to pairing Deer Hunter's download potential with a more exciting, deeper and realistic experience for our players."

Currently slated to be released in beta in late 2019, Glu will provide additional information on the game's development and worldwide launch at a later date.
