The Top 5 Improvements in the Massive Update That Introduced Hunt: Showdown 1896 - The extraction first-person shooter Hunt: Showdown has been going strong for five years and has gotten dozens of patches and updates, but none as big as the one that launched recently. It’s such a significant upgrade that the game itself got a new name — Hunt: Showdown 1896.If you’re not familiar with Hunt: Showdown, it’s a multiplayer shooter on PC and console that mixes the supernatural with dark realism. It’s a PvPvE extraction shooter that puts you in the shoes of a bounty hunter. In order to claim your bounties, you need to venture across large maps, kill supernatural creatures, and fend off your fellow hunters to survive long enough to reach the extraction point.The game’s recent update might have changed the name, but it’s not a sequel or standalone expansion. So if you purchased the original game, you already have access to Hunt: Showdown 1896 for no additional cost. All you have to do is download the update, and you’ll get upgrades to virtually every part of the gameplay experience. Let’s get into specifically what those improvements are.A New EngineIt all starts with the game’s move to CryEngine 5.11. That makes all the rest of the upgrades possible, raising the level of what the dev team at Crytek can accomplish across the board. In addition to improving things like performance and visual fidelity, the new engine will also allow Crytek to make future updates and react to community feedback faster. The central gameplay loop won’t significantly change, but the upgrades will give players on all platforms a more immersive experience.Improved Console PerformanceSpeaking of platforms, the update moves Hunt: Showdown 1896 into the current generation of consoles. It now runs natively on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, and while that means it’s no longer playable on PS4 or Xbox One, it also isn’t held back by the technological limitations of those consoles. It now runs at 60 fps and in HDR on all consoles, with faster loading times and more responsive input, providing smoother gameplay.Better Lighting and VisualsOn all platforms, the upgraded engine has allowed devs to improve visual fidelity, including textures, lighting, and animations. With richer blacks and higher quality lighting, interior locations look more realistic and added visibility means more details to spot. Character models have also been improved, while flowing water looks more crisp and realistic. These details may seem small on their own, but they add up to create a more immersive experience.Audio UpgradeThe game’s audio mix in general has been fine tuned to provide more clarity and sound definition. The update also adds support for new spatial audio options, such as Dolby Atmos. If you like to play with headphones, you’ll also have access to 3D audio. PC and Xbox players will benefit from Microsoft Sonic for headphones, while PS5 players will get Tempest 3D audio compatibility.New ContentWhile the previous improvements refined what was already there, a new era wouldn’t be complete without brand-new content that really mixes things up. Hunt: Showdown 1896 has that in spades. Up until now, the game has exclusively taken place in the swamps of Louisiana. But the new update features a one-year time skip and a shift in setting to the Colorado Rocky Mountains. The new map, Mammon’s Gulch, focuses on verticality, with mountains stretching aboveground and mines burrowing below. It provides unique sight lines and attack angles, adding another strategic layer to gameplay. And if you’re a longtime player and fan of older maps, don’t worry, they’ll be returning in the coming months after getting revamps of their own.Mammon Gulch isn’t the only addition. There’s also a new wild target called the Hellborn, as well as an event called Scorched Earth that sees new terrors spill out of fiery oil wells and underground mines.The latest update is full of improvements and new content, but it’s just the start of a new era. Crytek will continue to update and fine tune the experience, as they have been for the past five years. Whether you’re a veteran or a newcomer, there’s never been a better time to dive in. Hunt: Showdown 1896 is available for download now on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. Happy hunting!

Dark and Darker Mobile Combines Genres to Give Players a Unique Experience - Dark and Darker Mobile is an upcoming RPG from PUBG publisher Krafton that’s aiming to give players a unique experience on mobile devices. It’s an extraction game that combines elements of battle royales, dungeon crawlers, and RPGs to keep gameplay fresh and give players that “one more run” feeling.“You are a beginning adventurer going into the dungeons,” said Joonseok Ahn, the Executive Producer and Head of Production of Dark and Darker Mobile. “The setting is of a medieval, low-fantasy world. It’s about competing and exploring in the dungeons.”You can choose one of six different classes for your character: Fighter, Cleric, Rogue, Wizard, Ranger, or Barbarian. Each class has different stats and skills that shape their combat style, with some classes focusing on melee attacks, others ranged, and others on magic. But classes that broadly have similar styles will have inherent skills that change how they engage in combat.“There are active skills and passive skills. For example, as a Fighter, if you block yourself with a shield, then you’ll gain an advantage,” Ahn said. “We’ve also differentiated the armor of each class. For instance, a Fighter or Cleric will wear something metal, and a Wizard will wear cloth.”Gameplay sees you dive into dungeons with the goal of gathering as much loot as you can and escaping. You can form a party of up to three members, either by grouping up with friends or recruiting AI-controlled mercenaries to help you. You can meet and recruit mercenaries of different classes, and they’ll level up with you as you explore dungeons. You can then promote them, allowing them to learn new skills or increase their equipment level.Monsters roam the corridors of each dungeon, and killing them will reward you with more loot. But be careful, because your fellow players are trying to secure that loot too. They can catch you unaware and attack, prompting PvP battles to the death.“That is the biggest advantage we have for Dark and Darker Mobile — it is a competitive, progression-based dungeon crawler,” Ahn said. “We started from the notion that there really aren’t these kinds of swordplay-based extraction games in a classic medieval RPG setting. We believe we are defining this genre as a pioneer.”Monsters and fellow players aren’t the only threats. Each dungeon will have unique traps you need to keep an eye out for, and you’ll also have to contend with the Darkswarm, a constantly encroaching darkness that will kill players caught within it. This is where the battle royale elements come in. Where the Darkswarm will shrink is unpredictable, forcing players to adapt on the fly. And as it shrinks, it forces players into smaller areas, making PvP encounters inevitable.When it’s time to face off with your fellow players, it’s not all about brute strength. You need to strategize, consider the weapons being wielded by yourself and your opponent, and how you can use the environment to your advantage.“We have a physics-based combat system. You can find that in many console and PC games, but not as much in mobile games,” Ahn said. “For instance, there are interactions with the terrain or objects. So if you swing a big weapon, then you can get stuck in the terrain.”As you explore each dungeon, you can find escape portals that will allow you to evacuate with whatever loot you’ve gathered. Or you can choose to stay in the dungeon to gather more loot, but if you die, you lose everything. That risk vs. reward system is at the heart of the choices you’ll have to make during every run.Ahn stressed that community feedback has been vital as he and his team continue refining Dark and Darker Mobile. The game had two rounds of beta tests, and the team has talked to regional focus groups to get as much feedback as possible.“The motto of our development is to gather as much user feedback as we can, which is why we were engaged with two rounds of beta tests,” Ahn said. “We will open a Discord developer channel and gather feedback, and then apply this feedback to our updates. We try as much as possible to incorporate all the feedback to show that it’s reflected in the build itself. As an example, based on the first beta test, we incorporated feedback in the second beta test that was well received by users. Developers will be very open to communicating.”Dark and Darker Mobile is scheduled to release later this year. After release, they plan to have seasonal updates every 6–8 weeks that introduce new classes or new maps. Stay tuned to IGN for more news in the lead-up to release.

PUBG: Battlegrounds’ Director Discusses the Importance of the Game’s Community - PUBG: Battlegrounds celebrated its seventh anniversary this year, and it’s still going strong. The free-to-play battle royale shooter has welcomed millions of players from around the world during those seven years, and the development team has been focused on releasing new content and updates to keep that massive community engaged.“The key thing that I’ve learned over the past seven years is how important fans are,” said Taehyun Kim, Production Director of PUBG: Battlegrounds. “Our game has been serviced globally and it has been played in many countries and by many people around the world. So we keep looking for ways to satisfy diverse countries and diverse fans.”Kim has been a member of the PUBG team since its initial phase of development in 2016. He worked his way up to Production Director, where he is now responsible for guiding all aspects of the game’s progress. We got a chance to sit down and chat with him in Cologne, Germany, where he and his team were on hand for gamescom.Throughout our discussion, Kim stressed how vital he thinks it is for developers to stay in contact with their player base. He’s even been going out of his comfort zone to engage with fans publicly in new ways.“I had a livestream with Korean users, and it was really, really challenging,” Kim said. “I’m a developer, not a professional emcee, so I was afraid. ‘Oh, what if I make a mistake in front of this many people in real time?’ But I think, of course it is difficult, but I need to keep challenging myself and I have to continue this effort.”That effort is one of the reasons he came to Cologne. He attended PUBG: Hot Drop Cologne, an in-person event that allowed fans to meet the game’s devs, partners, and other special guests. It was one of the first times Kim has had direct contact with Western players, which is something he wants to continue to improve at.“I’m Korean, and I’m more comfortable speaking in Korean, so I have been communicating with Korean users using livestreaming,” he said. “But that was kind of my preparation to more effectively communicate with Western and English-speaking users. Currently we are looking forward and we are looking at different ways to more effectively communicate with our users around the world. So starting with this gamescom, we are going to keep continuing this effort to communicate with our fans.”Of course, building a community relies on more than devs connecting with players. It’s also about allowing players to form connections with each other. August was Clan Month, which added weekly clan challenges and a new rewards system. It also allowed players to join the fan clans of eight popular esports teams. It all builds to a special tournament at the end of the month, when clan members get the chance to team up with professional players.“For the clan system, what we want to offer to our players is to create an environment where they can create a new community and they can enjoy the game together, they can complete the missions together, and get the rewards together,” Kim said. “So doing this, they can enjoy the game with more fun with their squadmates and their clan members.”Kim and his team also know that for a community to stay active, they need updates and new content. He stressed that he and the dev team have a clear design philosophy and are very careful about what actually gets incorporated into the game.“Through our communication events in Korea, I’ve learned that what is more important is not to do something big, but to do something consistently,” he said. “Our theme is survival, so we do not want to undermine this core gameplay.”With a player base as huge and diverse as PUBG’s, player feedback comes from every corner of the world. Different players want different things, some of which directly contradict each other. So Kim and his team have to always keep that design philosophy in mind.“For us, community feedback is very important, but we are getting a lot of feedback from many countries and from many types of users,” he said. “Sometimes, feedback is very different, even for just one feature. So we think what is important is we need to incorporate the feedback which is more relevant to our game and also we need to set a benchmark that the incorporation process should not undermine our core gameplay.”As always, PUBG: Battlegrounds has plenty for players to look forward to. A zombie mode is on the way, an upgrade to Unreal Engine 5 is in the works long-term, and Kim said there are plans for plenty of other things that he can’t reveal yet. If you want to get in on the action, you can download PUBG: Battlegrounds for free on PC, PS4/5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and a mobile version is available on iOS and Android.
