Predator: Hunting Grounds Released

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.

If ever there was a concept for an asymmetrical shooter which could catch my attention then this would be it.

I've kept my head in the sand on this one though and didn't even participate in the trial so I guess I'll see how it pans out with the community but my greatest concern is that this genre doesn't seem to have the longest shelf life unless it gets a massive boost from the likes of Twitch and continuous support from the devs like Dead by Daylight.

Have you tried 2010s AvP? That was pretty fun asymmetric multiplayer.

I played the free trial weekend and it looks good. I really liked the concept of it, but it was very un-optimized. On my 1080ti it ran like ass at any settings. If they get that fixed it would be fun if it has players.

Good. Sounds like it should be ready in a year's time when it gets off EGS.
