Crytek‘s new game, Hunt: Showdown will soon be available in a proper format on both the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One (the latter has had it in its Xbox Game Preview for months).

„Hunt: Showdown, a competitive first-person bounty hunting game, combines the thrill of first-person shooters and survival games and packs those elements into a match-based format. Each match pits up to ten players—playing solo or in teams of two—against each other as they compete for bounty by taking out gruesome monsters in the swamps of Louisiana in what critiques have called a unique blend of player-versus-player and player-versus-enemy elements. But once players have taken a bounty, they instantly become a target for every other Hunter left on the map. The higher the risk, the higher the reward—but a single mistake could cost everything, and death is permanent. In Hunt‘s Quick Play mode, ten solo players compete for the chance to keep their Hunter at the end of the match — and a considerable amount of gold,” Crytek’s overview says.

Hunt: Showdown has left Early Access on Steam, and it is now available for 40 dollars or euros. It already has a DLC, called Legends of Bayou, which costs 10 dollars on its own. It contains two characters (Bone Doctor, practising voodoo, and Weird Sister, one of his followers), two unique weapons, and 500 Blood Bonds. If you plan to buy the game and the DLC, the price is 45 USD/EUR.

The situation is somewhat weird, as Crytek said in late June that the August 20 launch should happen on the Xbox One. Well, it didn’t – it’s still in Game Preview there, and we just checked on the Microsoft Store to confirm, so we can say that the PVP-PVE mixture game is somewhat behind schedule. Not on the PlayStation 4, though: it was always planned to launch in the autumn.
