There never seems to be enough good horror multiplayer games. Crytek is hoping to add another to the ‘good’ list and has just released a video for Hunt: Horrors of the Gilded Age. Hunt is a four-player co-op game set in the 1800s, following a group of hunters as they…well, do their thing. What exactly are they hunting? Well check out the trailer below and see for yourself!
Hunt will be a third-person shooter set in a procedurally generated world. Crytek promises that each enemy encountered will also be different. While the four initial characters will be pre-made, customization options can be unlocked for the characters and their weapons later on.
From the game’s website…
Our world stands on the brink of untold prosperity, but deep in the shadows, something is stirring. As the 1800s prepare to give way to the Gilded Age, monstrous horrors once thought to be myth are rising and threatening to emerge from the globe’s murkiest recesses. Mercifully, there are those who know the truth; brave hunters willing to step beyond the brink of what is seen and stand against the encroaching darkness. We can only pray their courage remains when they come face to face with the most twisted contortions of evil that await them.
Neat!
Steady your hand and brace yourself for pulse-pounding 4-player co-op action in HUNT: Horrors of the Gilded Age. Crytek’s third-person thriller turns you into both hunter and hunted as you unite with up to three other players and face an onslaught of bloodthirsty creatures together. As bullets dwindle and lamplight flickers, you’ll have to work strategically as a team to stay alive – especially when you track down jaw-dropping bosses with the brains and brawn to send you and your friends to an early grave. Hunt together or die alone, it’s up to you.
We’ll hopefully be able to hear more about Hunt at E3, so we’ll bring you more news then! Until then, head on over to their page and sign up for the beta, which will open this summer. After that, the game will be free to play!
