Hunt: Showdown 1896 Goes Halloween with Scream’s Iconic Villain

Crytek is shaking things up this Halloween with an exciting collaboration alongside Fun World, introducing the iconic Ghost Face from the Scream franchise into their extraction shooter, Hunt: Showdown 1896. This partnership unveils the Ghost Face Rampage DLC, just in time to celebrate Halloween 2024. What’s more, Ghost Face has undergone a striking 19th-century transformation to seamlessly blend into the game’s atmospheric aesthetic.

This marks the first horror-themed collaboration for Hunt: Showdown 1896, coinciding with the spine-tingling Harvest of Ghosts in-game event, which is set to thrill players until 25 November 2024.

The Ghost Face Rampage DLC packs some serious punch, featuring a new Hunter—Ghost Face himself—along with two stealthy weapons: the Hush (Frontier 73C Silencer) and Whisper (Bornheim No. 3 Silencer). And for close encounters? There’s the Life Taker—a sleek knife designed for silent takedowns. These tools of the trade not only amplify the fun but also provide a strategic advantage perfect for the game’s intense, fast-paced gameplay.

However, as with any change, the reception has been mixed. While some devoted fans advocate for the game’s adherence to its unique 19th-century lore, others are thoroughly impressed by the fresh design. The game has recently faced scrutiny, with a wave of negative reviews following the end of support for older consoles and a significant user interface (UI) overhaul. Nonetheless, Hunt: Showdown 1896 has proven resilient, setting a new record in August with over 60,000 concurrent players—an impressive feat.

Get ready for a chilling new experience in this Ghost Face Rampage DLC on 24 October 2024 for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and Steam.
