But it seems to have changed significantly
It has been a long time since we’ve heard anything about Crytek’sHunt(formerlyHunt: Horrors of the Gilded Age). The cooperative monster shooter was originallyrevealed in June 2014. It has been mostly radio silence since then, apart from news thatdevelopment was movedfrom theDarksidersstudio to Crytek’s Frankfurt office.
You’d be forgiven for thinking thatHunthad been silently canned. Amid all of Crytek’s very public financial woes which includenot paying employeesandstudio closures, it seemed reasonable to assume that a free-to-play shooter would end up a casualty. Not so, apparently.
This morning, Crytek released a teaser trailer forHuntthat’s embedded above. Things appear to have been significantly reworked. The subtitle is nowShowdowninstead ofHorrors of the Gilded Age. Also, we’re told that it’s now a first-person shooter, whereas it was originally set to be third-person.
There will be plenty to learn aboutHuntin the months to come, especially consideringits websiteis nothing more than the trailer. It’ll be interesting to find out what this has turned into. But, something tells me it’ll be more interesting to learn how this game stayed afloat despite all of Crytek’s problems.
