News: Xbox gamers can get an early look at Crytek’s new game and even potentially help out with the game’s development.

Crytek has just released Hunt: Showdown on to Xbox Game Preview. The game is launching in North America, Europe, Australia, and a number of other regions, priced at 29.99 USD/EUR and 24.99 GBP. Set in Louisiana in 1895, Hunt: Showdown combines the thrill of survival games with a match-based format to create a tense and thrilling experience. The new Xbox Game Preview trailer is available below.

“We are really looking forward to seeing Hunt: Showdown on Xbox, and to hearing what the players have to say about the game,” said Hunt: Showdown Producer Fatih Özbayram. “Hunt has a community-driven development process, and we can’t wait to work with the new Xbox audience as we continue to polish the game.”

Hunt: Showdown is a competitive first-person bounty hunting game that packs the thrill of survival games into a match-based format. Set in Louisiana in 1895, the game boasts a mixture of PvP and PvE elements that creates a uniquely tense experience. It’s not just the creatures who are a threat—it’s every Hunter on the map. In the classic game mode, a match of Hunt pits ten players—playing solo or in teams of two—against each other as they race to take out gruesome beasts for a bounty they must collect and get off of the map. Hunt’s Quick Play mode offers a shorter match for solo players to scavenge for weapons as they compete for a diminishing pool of bounty. The higher the risk, the higher the reward–but a single mistake could cost everything.
