Hunt: Showdown 1896 Teases Players With News That “Change Is Coming”

Ever since Post Malone’s Murder Circus event wrapped up, Hunt: Showdown 1896 has gone back to its standard bounty hunt routine, with weekend bounty clash modes for a bit of extra excitement. But it seems like things are about to get shaken up in Louisiana and Colorado once more, as Crytek’s latest tease hinted at “change” on the horizon for our favorite game. So, let’s delve into the specifics and uncover what we can expect next.

Hunt: Showdown 1896 Teases Players With News That “Change Is Coming

According to a recent tweet from Crytek’s Hunt: Showdown Twitter account in 1896, the developers are hinting at something new on its way. Their mysterious message suggests: “There’s a strange smell in the air – earthy, rich, and tainted with something unusual. The land seems to change, whispers can be heard, and an ancient power is stirring. Change is approaching.

I can’t help but notice a peculiar aroma hanging heavy in the game world – it’s a mix of natural earthiness and something decidedly unnatural. The ground beneath my virtual feet seems to tremble, whispers echo around me, and an ancient force stirs. Change is definitely on its way.

Although the specific nature of this “change” has yet to be defined, the associated image has already ignited numerous fan speculations. Some gamers are hypothesizing a collaboration with The Last of Us, due to the presence of fungal growths in the image, while others ponder if a new boss character is imminent. Furthermore, some suspect that the writing on the wall in the image may provide hints in the game’s Hunter language for additional insights.

Yet, this unexpected sneak peek has left some gamers perplexed. Previously, the developers had announced their focus would primarily be on enhancing game quality and addressing performance issues for most of 2025, while new content and events would take a secondary role. With update 2.3 approaching, it appeared that things were moving as planned in this direction.

Currently, fans are speculating if Crytek might be returning to more frequent updates and special events. From our perspective, this could imply that Crytek is striking a balance between two approaches: continually improving the core aspects of their game while also providing fresh content, as suggested by the latest lore update linked to the new Shocking event’s lore entry.

Currently, we can’t definitively predict how this “change” will impact the future plans of Hunt: Showdown 1896. However, one fact remains undeniable – players are excitedly awaiting the upcoming developments over the next few weeks.
