Hunt: Showdown gets solo mode and cross-play soon
Hunt: Showdown is a stunning multiplayer shooter from Crytek. You have to go around investigating clues, shooting lesser monsters, and then fighting an even bigger threat at the end of the match. However, it’s not that easy. Along the way, other players will try to kill you and claim the reward for themselves.
We have so much big news for you today, Hunters. Hunt is getting a new publisher! From here on out, Koch Media will be publishing Hunt on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Koch Media will be responsible for both the global retail and digital releases of the game on these platforms. Hunt is coming to PlayStation on… February 18… In the next year, you can expect even more content to be added to the game, and a lot of things you’ve been asking us for are on the way! Very soon, Update 1.2 will bring us random teams of three, an advanced tutorial, new Legendary Hunters, and new equipment and weapons across the board. You can also expect server-side performance improvements… performance fixes, and a number of other general bug fixes… looking beyond Update 1.2, Hunt will see even bigger updates arriving, including cross-play between Xbox and PlayStation, a Solo… mode, live-event, outfit customization, and a new map.
In Windows Central’s review, I said, “Overall, Hunt: Showdown is a good game, but it needs a stronger single-player component. Going up against higher-level players again and again is quite frustrating. Sometimes, you just want to track the monster by yourself and explore the map without the fear of someone killing you along the way.”
