Crytek unveils its latest in-game event, Scorched Earth, along with a new Wild Target, the Hellborn. Set on the tortured peaks of the brand new Colorado map Mammon’s Gulch, you’ll face this game-changing new threat for the first time in Hunt: Showdown 1896, coming August 15 to PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
“Scorched Earth” begins in the new Colorado biome, bringing with it three pacts that the Hunters must commit to as they disembark the train from Louisiana into the shadow of the mighty Rocky Mountains. The Mammon’s Gulch Incursion is in full swing, and unimaginable horrors are pouring out of the oil wells and mines that run through the mountain peaks.
In addition to the fiery new Wild Target, the upcoming event brings new gear, ammo, and weapons, including the 1865 Carbine, the Infantry 73L Base Rifle with a sniper variant, Bear Traps as a new tool, and a scoped variant of the Crossbow Deadeye. An all-new weekly challenge system supports players jumping into the action mid-event, and there’s a Battle Pass with free and premium rewards to unlock.
