What Is Hunt: Showdown?
Taken from our previous report on the game's Early Access reveal, Hunt: Showdown is described as follows:
Hunt: Showdown blends horror, survival, stealth, monster hunting, and battle royale elements together into a crazy intense competitive experience. You and a partner are dropped into a large map with the goal to hunt a monstrous target. There are smaller dangerous creatures on the map as well, but you must defeat or avoid them as you collect clues that lead you to your main objective.
Your team isn't the only one on the hunt, though. Matches consist of up to five teams of two and, beyond potentially encountering these other hunters as you peruse the map, you'll draw the attention of all surviving teams once you acquire your bounty. After killing the target, it must be banished in order for you to collect your reward and this will give away your position. The final wave begins then and you must survive the monsters in your vicinity that are attracted and the hunters that come for your bounty.
