Crytek has just teased the newest update and event for Hunt: Showdown, and it is holiday-themed. Hunt: Showdown may seem closer to Halloween than Christmas, with its horror-based elements, but the Blood and Ice update looks to bring Christmas trees, presents, and perhaps even Scrooge, based solely on the twenty-second teaser.
A quick teaser has just been posted on the official Hunt: Showdown Twitter page. Blood and Ice is coming soon, and a developer live stream is taking place tomorrow at 2:30 PM CET (8:30 AM ET) to give Hunters a closer look at the content.
In just 20 seconds, the teaser sets the mood for what players can expect in Blood and Ice. It looks dark, cold, and brutal, but also eerily cheery with holiday themes. The news of Blood and Ice comes alongside update 1.4.8 to Hunt: Showdown, which brings massive loot changes, new weapons, and watch towers throughout the map.
2020 has been a rough year for many developers, and Crytek has admitted that the challenges made things tough for the team, which is why update 1.5 with a new boss was delayed for Hunt: Showdown. But even though players will have to wait a bit longer for the new map, new boss, and big changes coming in 2021, Crytek has given players a lot to smile about in 2020.
Those who have enjoyed the game and tried to be the best hunters in Hunt: Showdown saw tons of new weapons, timed events, a single-player Trials Mode, various gameplay improvements, cross-platform play, Twitch drops, a fan vote for Hunt: Showdown merchandise, and so much more in 2020. And now the game looks to end with a cold and bloody bang with Christmas and maybe even Scrooge himself.
Hunt: Showdown is out now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
