A Post Malone collaboration event with Hunt: Showdown 1896 is coming soon, titled Murder Circus.
Developer Crytek has announced a brand-new collaboration between its first-person shooter Hunt: Showdown 1896 and the popular singer Post Malone. This crossover is currently teased to be “coming soon,” but the studio has provided plenty of lore and cosmetic details while fans wait for release day. For new players wanting to try Hunt: Showdown 1896, Black Friday deals from the PlayStation Store and Steam are currently making it easier than ever to become a bounty hunter.
First released in 2018, Hunt: Showdown allows players to hunt mythical monsters, claim the rewards, and survive against other bounty hunters. In August 2024, Crytek released an updated version of the game titled Hunt: Showdown 1896, for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S users, compensating for the older PS4 and Xbox One versions ending. Hunt: Showdown 1896 recently debuted a crossover with the Scream franchise, and welcomed the iconic killer Ghostface into the roster, making 2024 a popular year for the masked enemy after being added to the Mortal Kombat 1 line-up as well.
