Predator: Hunting Grounds is now available for Windows as promised on the
Epic Games Store, offering the chance to hunt or be hunted in a new
asymmetrical multiplayer shooter based on the science fiction franchise. If you
tried this out during the recent trial weekend, you may be interested in the
extensive
patch notes detailing day one changes since then (thanks
MP1st). Here's
a
trailer showing off gameplay, and here are the details:
HUNT OR BE
HUNTED
Predator: Hunting Grounds is an immersive asymmetrical multiplayer* shooter set
in the remote jungles of the world, where the Predator stalks the most
challenging prey. Play as a member of an elite 4-person Fireteam and complete
paramilitary operations before the Predator finds you. Or, play as the Predator
to hunt the most worthy prey, choosing from your vast array of deadly alien tech
to collect your trophies, one by one.
Enter the World of Predator:
Enter a world that looks and feels completely authentic to the lore of the
Predator universe. The lush jungle comes alive with the sights and sounds of
military bravado moving toward their objective. While up in the trees, a flash
of light and an ominous clicking sound belay that the team is about to face
deadly opposition. From the epic Predator theme song to the signature
light-bending cloaking and thermal Predator vision, fans of the Predator-verse
will revel in both familiar and new canon.
Human vs. Alien Weaponry:
As a Fireteam member, wield a state-of-the-art arsenal, from pistols to assault
rifles, shotguns, grenades and heavy weapons.** As the Predator, hunt with
deadly alien tech including the shoulder-mounted Plasma Caster, Combistick,
Smart Disc, Wrist Blades, and more.
Jungle Warfare:
Drop into several conflict zones in South America, treacherous, thick with
ranging trees and sprawling undergrowth. Guerilla soldiers are well-camouflaged
between guarding shanty hide-outs at the water’s edge. Whether a Fireteam moves
as a unit or takes a strategic split approach to reach each objective, the rich
setting offers a diverse environment to perfect your approach. For the Predator,
the trees are perfect for using otherworldy skills, crawling up tree trunks and
stealthing through branches to stalk prey with frightening speed.
Gameplay required to unlock some Fireteam and Predator
weapons.
