Hunt: Showdown 1896 Starter Edition

Hunt: Showdown 1896 is Crytek's extraction shooter, rebuilt and rebranded on the CryEngine 5.11 upgrade that also brought the Colorado map. You are a bounty hunter working the Louisiana bayou and the Rocky Mountains, and the monsters are the least of your problems. A match drops up to twelve hunters into a map where a boss is hiding. You find it by reading clues, kill it, banish it and then survive the walk to an extraction point while everyone else on the server now knows exactly where you are. Sound carries: crows, dogs, broken glass and horses all give you away, and the sparse nineteenth-century arsenal means a single shot is loud, slow to follow up and usually lethal. Death is permanent — a killed hunter takes their gear and progression with them, so every engagement is a wager. Solo play, duos and trios are all supported, and the Quickplay mode offers shorter rounds. The Starter Edition is the cheapest entry point, bundling the base game with a legendary hunter and a small starting weapon pack for new players.
