| DEVELOPMENT HISTORY |
Hunt: Showdown 1896 is an important update to the original game Hunt: Showdown, developed by the German studio Crytek. Originally released in 2018, the game quickly gained popularity thanks to its unique combination of PvPvE gameplay, where players not only fight against each other, but also against various monsters in the dark atmosphere of the late 19th century. Hunt: Showdown 1896 represents more than just an update. This is a reboot of sorts that takes the game to the next level and is a “version 2.0” of the original game.
Development Hunt: Showdown 1896 began in response to growing requests from the player community. Over the course of several years, Crytek has been collecting feedback and suggestions, which has helped form the basis for new content and improvements.
