We now have a much clearer picture on the collaboration content from Post Malone and Hunt: Showdown 1896. The musical artist and fan of Hunt, will have what is being billed as the "biggest event yet" to hit the game.
Post Malone's Murder Circus will bring "a unique blend of musical artistry and supernatural horror to the Bayou, Gulch, and beyond." Post Malone himself will play an outcast Ringmaster "turned deposed King - the lord of the circus and the human oddities who made up its twisted crew."
Post Malone’s Murder Circus invites players into a nightmarish world where a once-traveling carnival has been transformed by a mysterious artifact known as the HelioStone. Post Malone, who plays the role of the vengeance driven Deposed King, the former Ringmaster, brings his unique creative vision to the game's gritty historical landscapes marred by Corruption.
Driven out by the HelioStone’s power, Post shadowed the Circus across the continent vowing to destroy HelioStone. Every time it manifests, he does his best to tear it down to the ground. Sometimes he recruits others – bounty hunters, desperadoes, and suchlike – to do it. Sometimes he takes on the task himself. But always the HelioStone eludes him, and so the chase continues.

The collab will include special themed hunter skins, weapon variants, enemies, and more. The whole vibe will be creepy circus focused and will combine "the game's gritty historical setting and extraction shooter mechanics with the artist's signature style."
Crytek says Post Malone's Murder Circus "will soon be available" in the game. A specific date was not shared.
