Developers from the German studio Crytek announced the main news of the Hunt: Showdown event at the end of May. First of all, we learned about the game transition to the more modern CryEngine 5.11. At the same time, it became clear that with its launch, a native version will be released for current-generation consoles in the form of PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, while the servers will be turned off and the associated end of the game on the latest-generation consoles.
Following on from the news in May, today’s announcement provides more details. First things first: renaming the game to Hunt: Showdown 1896 and the introduction of a new map called Mammon’s Gorge, which will take you to the Colorado Rockies. With the transition to a new engine and the release of a new environment, Crytek is talking about the beginning of a completely new chapter for the entire game. In addition to the said map, players can also expect improved graphics, sound, performance, and gameplay.
Hunting: Showdown 1896 will be released on August 15th on PC (Steam) and PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles. Owners of the original version will be offered a free update. You can see the new sample in the preview above.
