Hunt: Showdown 1896 Teaser Has Fans Wondering About the Return of DeSalle

by

The initial release of Hunt: Showdown in 1896 was marketed as a substantial update, moving the game to CRYENGINE 5 and enhancing both performance and visuals. Yet, this upgrade also resulted in the deletion of certain features and maps, including the widely loved DeSalle, which Crytek promised would reappear gradually. With their recent post hinting at significant alterations, many fans are pondering if perhaps this could signal the comeback of the DeSalle map.

Is DeSalle Making a Comeback in Hunt: Showdown 1896? Fans Speculate After Latest Teaser

Lately, Hunt: Showdown hinted at an upcoming change through a cryptic message on their social media platforms like Twitter, saying “Change is coming.” The specifics of this shift are still undetermined, but fans have started brainstorming theories—with one popular guess implying that DeSalle could reappear. This conjecture gained momentum after the creators hinted at DeSalle’s potential return in 2025, and they even alluded to it in a recent Reddit post.

Players flocked to Reddit after the teaser was posted, scrutinizing the image Crytek had shared, hoping to spot familiar details. Some noted that the backdrop seemed similar to a house from the Seven Sisters region of the DeSalle map, igniting speculation about its possible return. Yet, others remain unconvinced, questioning whether the teaser actually suggests a comeback for DeSalle.

It’s doubtful that the teaser points to an entirely fresh map, considering Crytek has hinted at reducing new content in 2024. With recent staff reductions, it seems more sensible for them to focus on reviving a beloved map like DeSalle, rather than creating a brand-new one due to practical concerns of manpower and logistics.

It’s apparent that players are excited about the prospect of DeSalle returning, as speculation suggests. Fingers crossed, Crytek recognizes the community’s eagerness and is considering reintroducing the map at some point down the line. Here’s to hoping we can once again traverse DeSalle, experiencing new adventures in Lewis Saloon like old times.
