Hunt: Showdown Anniversary with Twitch Drops, new content and more

Seasoned veterans, fans, and new players alike are invited to hit the bayou and celebrate Hunt: Showdown’s fourth anniversary since its release in Early Access. There’s hardly a better time to join the more than 3.5 million players – a number that is growing year after year.

The bayou is a strange and dangerous place. The 1,595 players who died through doors or the 276 who lost their lives to horses bear witness to this. Everyone is invited to join the anniversary celebration by going on a bounty hunt. And each other.

To celebrate four years, Crytek is thanking current players and welcoming new ones to Hunt Showdown with a Twitch Drops campaign, anniversary sale and new branding.

Fatih Özbayram, Senior Producer for Hunt: Showdown, said: “The entire team has worked really hard over the last four years to make Hunt a special experience. Every match tells a unique story, so people keep coming back to the bayou.”

“It is always our goal to keep the game fresh with updates, content and events. Over the last year we’ve added a new map and boss, and held events like ‘Light the Shadow’ and ‘As the Crow Flies’. We couldn’t do any of this without our amazing and open community. By putting players first and listening to what they want in Hunt, we are able to deliver a gaming experience that is truly unique.”

The Twitch Drops campaign includes four Legendary Weapons and one Legendary Hunter and will run from tomorrow, February 23 at 4 p.m. to March 1 at 4 p.m. Drops are free for everyone, players simply need to watch their favorite streamer on Twitch on Hunt: Showdown to claim the free rewards.

Reflecting PvPvE gameplay, the new branding will appear across all Hunt: Showdown channels and as a wallpaper that will be available for download.

New to Hunt? “50 Ways To Die” videos full of tips and hints on what new players should not do are waiting on social media channels. Also coming soon is a Beauty of Hunt video showcasing some of the fabulous locations and settings to explore.

PC players can get Hunt: Showdown plus four DLCs as part of the Anniversary Bundle for 65% off. The pack is available on Steam until Thursday, March 3rd.
