Crytek Announced Another New IP!

Crytek has been on a roll lately. In terms of gaming announcements, they’ve recently revealed multiple new-ish IPs; first up was the new online multiplayer game called Battlecry followed by Homefront: The Revolution. Today, they’re revealing yet another title…

Their newest IP is called Hunt: Horrors of the Gilded Age. It’s a third-person game where up to four players can work together to fend off monsters. Based on description from Crytek, it sounds like a cross between Left 4 Dead and Evolve. So, yeah I’m interested!

Set in the late 1800s, HUNT depicts a world where so-called myths and folklore actually point to the terrifying truth about evil lurking just beyond the fringes of day-to-day life. Players act as hunters willing to take up arms and risk their necks by venturing into the deadliest of territories and facing the hideous creatures that have overrun them.

Crytek USA Corp., the developer working on this title, is implementing a content generation system that changes up the environment and enemy locations. This allows for challenging gameplay and surprise boss encounters. Those looking to try out the game should sign up for a chance at the beta (coming later this year).

Hunt: Horrors of the Gilded Age will be published by Crytek as part of their “games as a service” program. Meaning it’ll most likely be a free-to-play title. There’s no word on a release date. Of course we’ll continue to follow this title, updating you as soon as we hear more!
