The creator of the original Far Cry and Crysis franchise has announced that in early 2018 we will have a chance to test his upcoming shooter from the first person point of view. Specifically, the closed alpha phase for Hunt: Showdown will start off in January next year.

Crytek‘s potential megahit Hunt: Showdown is described as a competitive PvP from the first person point of view with a strong focus on PvE elements. It is located in the darkest remote spots of the world where 10 different players form five teams of two members to find and finally end the life of different monstrous targets. However, once you destroy one of the monsters mentioned, a warrant for your head will be issued, which means that you will become a target to all the other hunters on the map. Only then does the fun begin, because real people will chase after you, and everything is at stake here because once you die – it is over.

In any case, if you are interested and would like to be part of the team that will participate in the testing all you need to do is register on the game’s official website.
