The game was officially released on August 27, 2019, for Microsoft Windows, followed by Xbox One on September 19, 2019, and PlayStation 4 on February 18, 2020. Players take on the role of a bounty hunter tasked with defeating a mythical monster to claim a bounty and make it to an extraction point alive.
Originally titled Hunt: Horrors of the Gilded Age, the game was being developed by Crytek USA as a cooperative multiplayer game meant to serve as a spiritual successor to the Darksiders series. However, after Crytek USA was shut down due to financial difficulties, development was moved to Germany where it was re-announced in May 2017 as Hunt: Showdown. The game became a competitive multiplayer experience where players fight against other players and enemies controlled by AI in a large map that resembles an open world. Hunt: Showdown has received positive reviews for its innovative gameplay loop.
