Hunt: Showdown Upgrade to CryEngine 5.11 That Ends Support for Last-Gen Drops Aug. 15
Crytek has put a date to Hunt: Showdown’s game engine update, and it’s on August 15 2024! Once this update rolls around, this brings the game to CryEngine version 5.11, and effectively ends support for last-gen (PS4, Xbox One) consoles, with a free current-gen upgrade to existing owners.
Alongside the new engine upgrade, players can also expect a new map, performance improvements for both PC and consoles, as well as new UI/UX design and more.
According to Crytek, players can expect “a mountain of new content” to come to Hunt: Showdown throughout the summer of 2024. Expect more teasers, updates and more. Players can expect to see more about:
- Community surveys, lessons learned, and how this data will affect future events
- A sneak peek into the new UX/UI design
- Technological upgrades and performance improvements coming to Hunt via CRYENGINE 5.11 and what that means for players
- An update on the Fair Play Task Force and the steps being taken to address cheating, exploitive play, and toxic interactions
- The evolution of Hunter recruitment/ Prestige systems, as well as changes being made to the progression system
- Overall design vision for game mechanics and the decisions being made around Hunter revival, Health Chunks, restorations, burning downed Hunters, and more
