Crytek announced today that some fresh content is headed soon to Hunt: Showdown. Specifically, the studio revealed that a future update will bring an entirely new map. This will come alongside a new live event that will allow players the chance to unlock new in-game rewards. A little sneak peak of the new map and future content can be found in the new "Dark Sight" trailer, embedded below.
This new content is being worked on alongside several quality-of-life updates that will enhance performance and stability. The updates will also improve matchmaking to "deliver more balanced matches for both newcomers and experienced players alike."
Hunt: Showdown is currently available for the PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. It is on sale on Steam right now for 50% off until June 3. The screenshots below are (probably) not from the new map and are more just general screenshots of the game.
Hunt: Showdown is a competitive first-person bounty hunting game that packs the thrill of survival games into a match-based format. Set in Louisiana in 1895, the game boasts a mixture of PvP and PvE elements that creates a uniquely tense experience. It’s not just the creatures who are a threat — it’s every Hunter on the map. In the classic game mode, a match of Hunt pits 12 players — playing solo or in teams of two or teams of three — against each other as they race to take out gruesome beasts for a bounty they must collect and get off of the map, while Hunt’s quickplay mode offers a shorter match for solo players to scavenge for weapons as they compete for a diminishing pool of bounty. The higher the risk, the higher the reward — but a single mistake could cost everything. For more information, visit www.huntshowdown.com.
