‘Hunt: Showdown’ developers announce new map and live event

The new content will feature the much-requested hunting bow

Hunt: Showdown developers Crytek today announced a new map and a heap of additional content to the game.

The announcement arrives off the back of the As The Crow Flies live event. An event which saw Hunt: Showdown break a record for the number of peak concurrent users.

There are no release details for the content, but Crytek stated that it “will be included in a future game update”. The developer provided a sneak peek at the new content in a video uploaded yesterday (May 25)

The trailer features new hunters, a peek at the new map and even footage of a much-requested weapon, the hunting bow. The map also features several new locations, including a saloon, a quarry and a plantation.

Senior producer Fatih Özbayram talked about the success of the previous live event, and how the team wants to build on that momentum: “The response to our ‘As The Crow Flies‘ live event was phenomenal.”

“Building on that success, we’re excited to announce that a new live event will come to the game soon, plus a new map which will present Hunters with new challenges and enemies,” added Özbayram

Hunt: Showdown celebrated its third birthday earlier this year, and has since implemented several improvements. The last major update introduced a new UI and added custom ammo to the game.

Crytek has added a substantial amount of free and paid content to Hunt: Showdown since it released. There are now over 90 legendary weapons, 35 tools and items, and an arsenal of 80 different guns.
