Hunt: Showdown 1896 – DeSalle Confirmed to Return in Next Update

In a hint-filled series of posts, the official Twitter account for Hunt: Showdown in 1896 has been tantalizing fans, and it appears that character Desalle is indeed making a comeback based on recent developments.

A place long abandoned is about to be revisited, transformed over time and strife into a new form.

In a recent update, Crytek showcased an image of three Hunters rushing past Moses Poultry, a notable landmark central to the Desalle map. Their post says: “What was previously abandoned has returned, transformed by time and struggle. Prepare yourself for a return to the swamp’s deadliest terrain.” – HuntShowdown, X

Confirmation has been given for Desalle’s comeback, but the specific launch date remains undisclosed. Most discussions within online gaming communities like Reddit and Discord suggest that Desalle will debut with the upcoming major event, possibly in June 2025. However, there are whispers that it might instead be introduced as a mid-event update to provide more space for the Battle Pass or to allow Crytek additional time to perfect the revamped map.

There’s no denying the eagerness among players for the game’s return. Long-time enthusiasts are eagerly making plans to dive back in, wanting to reexperience the thrill of Desalle’s multilevel rooftops, nerve-wracking choke points, and gritty cityscapes. However, considering Hunt’s current technical problems and performance hurdles, it wouldn’t be unexpected if Crytek needs a bit more time for a seamless relaunch, hence a slight delay might occur.

At present, we’re thrilled to share that Desalle is coming back to Hunt: Showdown following its absence during the 1896 update. As new information, teasers, or gameplay previews become available, you can expect us to delve into it all, so keep an eye out for updates on our site.
