Fight Together or Die Alone in Crytek's Thrilling new IP, HUNT: Horrors of the Gilded Age
FRANKFURT AM MAIN, Germany and AUSTIN, Texas, June 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Brace yourself for a spine-chilling new multiplayer experience on PC and consoles as
Crytek ventures into the shadows in "HUNT: Horrors of the Gilded Age".
An all-new IP, HUNT is a third-person action game where up to four players band
together to fend off an onslaught of bloodthirsty creatures and track down breathtaking
bosses. Featuring intense co-op gameplay, HUNT is the debut title from Crytek USA Corp.,
and will be published by Crytek as part of their growing Games-as-a-Service range. Players
won't have to wait long to take a closer look at HUNT in action, with the game going on
show at this year's E3 expo from June 10-12.
David Adams, CEO of Crytek USA Corp., said: "In HUNT: Horrors of the Gilded Age,
players will be counting their bullets and crying out for help as they delve deeper into
the shadowy world we've created. From the outset of the development process, we've poured
our imaginations into the game so that everyone who plays HUNT will discover a challenging
experience that feels fresh, captivating and rich in possibilities."
Set in the late 1800s, HUNT depicts a world where so-called myths and folklore
actually point to the terrifying truth about evil lurking just beyond the fringes of
day-to-day life. Players act as hunters willing to take up arms and risk their necks by
venturing into the deadliest of territories and facing the hideous creatures that have
overrun them.
Adding to the thrill of the hunt is a special content generation system that ensures
players never encounter exactly the same environment or set of enemies twice. As the
surprises come thick and fast, the terror of knowing that one of the game's grueling boss
battles could be just around the corner will keep everyone's pulses pounding. Defeating
bosses will require close collaboration between hunters as they attempt to figure out and
take down some truly terrifying monsters.
HUNT: Horrors of the Gilded Age is scheduled to enter Closed Beta testing on PC later
this year, and players can sign up for a chance to experience the game first at

E3 2014 attendees looking to see HUNT in the flesh should visit Crytek at booth 4500
in the Los Angeles Convention Center.
