Lurking in the WatersÂ
The bayou is getting much more dangerous. There is more than simple undead roaming the wilds of the swamp. Keep your eyes on the water, hunters. Today, Crytek is bringing some more danger to the world of their PVEVP FPS, Hunt: Showdown, with the launch of the Tide of Shadows event. Introducing players to a whole new type of boss, as well as, giving players new weapons, story, and more, the event is the first of its kind in the game. A blog post on the game’s website provides more details. Furthermore, an announcement trailer from earlier in the month shows off the kind of horrors that lurk with the event.Â
Known for its combination of PVP and PVE, Hunt: Showdown is mixing up its gameplay with this new event. Tide of Shadows, is introducing a host of new content for the fearless hunters of the bayou but nothing quite like the game’s newest boss: Rotjaw. This monstrous alligator is the first of its kind in Hunt. It introduces players to the concept of Wild-Targets, unlike other bosses, she lurks outside of compounds ambushing those who dare enter her territory. Of course, the introduction of the wild-target changes player interactions forcing them to fight in less-than-opportune areas where the open space leads to frantic gun-fights that require split-second choices. Not to mention the gigantic hungry alligator.Â
Additionally, players can look forward to new pacts to pledge allegiance to. Furthermore, there are several new weapons, variants, and more for players to unlock through the event. Check out the announcement trailer for a glimpse of Rotjaw in all her horrifying glory.Â
Hunt: Showdown is available for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Tide of Shadows is currently going on. So, will you be brave enough to face Rotjaw?Â
