"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.

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 fishermen alike will be challenged for hours in the virtual Alaskan wild.
