Crytek announces a free weekend is underway for
Hunt Showdown,
their Early Access bounty-hunting first-person shooter. South American players
will be pleased to see that the announcement includes word that they now have
local servers:
Great news! We're doing a free Hunt weekend on Steam,
starting right now. During the free weekend, the game will also be 20% off.
From Thursday, August 9th at 10 am PT/1 pm ET/ 7 pm CEST to Monday, August 13th
at 10 am PT/1 pm ET/ 7 pm CEST, you can play Hunt for free on Steam. So clear
your calendar, notify friends, and go download Hunt right now.
The free weekend event also coincides with the addition of South American
servers to the game, bringing a new continent of players to the hunt, and a
brand new set of six Steam trading cards to collect and trade while you're doing
it. Shortly after the free weekend, the game will see the addition of the Water
Devil, a new AI that will make wading through the Louisiana swamps where the
game is set even more dangerous.
This your first rodeo? Let us fill you in: Hunt is a multiplayer, first-person
bounty hunting game that combines the action, the thrill, and the tension of
multiple genres into a unique new gaming experience. During each match, you must
track and kill monsters—solo or in teams of two—then you need to get off the map
with the prize before another Hunter takes you out.
