Crytek is temporarily shutting down the servers for its multiplayer shooter Hunt: Showdown. This is part of the preparation for the imminent release of Hunt: Showdown 1896 - an updated version of the original game on the new version of the CryEngine 5.11 engine.
It will become available on August 15, along with the Scorched Earth event, which will last until October 7. In addition, with the release of the update, players can expect a new map, a new special goal, Demon, interface changes, and much more.
"This is it, Hunters," developer Crytek tweeted. "We are mere days from the launch of Hunt: Showdown 1896, and as noted in July, Hunt: Showdown servers are going dark for 48 hours starting Tuesday, August 13th from 7pm CEST (1 pm ET).
"This means the game will be unavailable on any platform as we ready Mammon's Gulch for your much anticipated arrival. Thank you for your understanding, patience and support as we enter into a whole new era of Hunt together on 15th August."
