Glu Mobile Inc. (NASDAQ: GLUU), a leading global developer and

today announced Deer Hunter VR, the company’s first title developed
exclusively for Oculus, which will initially be available on the
Samsung Gear VR, powered by Oculus. Revealed today at the Oculus

brings a new level of immersive gameplay to the most popular
hunting franchise. Glu expects to launch Deer Hunter VR before the
end of 2015.
“Glu prides itself on being at the forefront of innovation by
developing native, unmissable entertainment for new platforms,”
said Niccolo de Masi, Glu Chairman and CEO. “With nearly 150
million Deer Hunter 2014 downloads to-date, and Deer Hunter 2016

worldwide launch, we look forward to reaching new players through
the consumer launch of the Samsung Gear VR.”
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.
