Hunt: Showdown is already five years old, but Crytek has no plans to slow down the game’s development pace. .
The online shooter Hunt: Showdown is one of Crytek’s biggest production hits. Last month marked five years since the first version of the game went on sale on Steam. However, the developers have no intention of slowing down and have revealed some details about the game’s further development plans.
- The most important change should be the transfer of Hunt: Confrontation from the now deprecated CryEngine version 5.6 to version 5.11. This should bring improvements to both graphics and gameplay.
- Upgrading an old online game engine is something that happens very rarely and Crytek wouldn’t have taken on such a difficult task if it hadn’t planned to develop the game for years to come.
- For the moment, it is not known when we can expect the switch to the new engine. All we know is that it will happen this year.
- Crytek also revealed that the player population of Hunt: Showdown is growing every year and the developers are curious to see how far they can go.
Hunt: Showdown debuted in early access in February 2018. In turn, in 2019 the game lived through version 1.0 and the Xbox One release. A year later, a PlayStation 4 port was released.
The game is very popular. On Steam, 83% of player reviews praise the title, which is rated as “very positive” reception. Hunt: Showdown also achieves very good activity results: yesterday, at the hottest hour of the day, 27,604 users played the project on Steam at the same time.
Hunt: Showdown is currently better than ever. If you want to have fun, you can take advantage of the promotions organized for the fifth anniversary of the game. As a result, on Steam, the game currently costs $16. You will pay the same amount on the PlayStation Store. Many DLCs have also been reduced. Unfortunately, the price drops did not include the Xbox edition.
