Reports of burned crops and scorched cattle were starting to cause unrest in the northern mountains. Coupled with the sickness that had started to spread, people's homes became fortresses. Lucky, really, considering the heated battle that was about to unfold...

Our latest event, Scorched Earth, arrives August 15th. Take a look at our brand-new reveal trailer.

Be careful not to get caught in the nest of barbwire!

From the 26th to the 28th of July, all contracts will feature Scrapbeak.

Best of luck, Hunters.

With the Corruption dwindling in Louisiana and reports of an outbreak in the north, our Hunters travel to new lands. Each one has their own reason to chase after the foul creatures which now inhabit the oil fields and abandoned mines.

Once a verdant landscape of green forests and rocky crags, Mammon's Gulch now mimics its inhabitants, fetid and rotten, soon to be the latest stage of bloodshed and battle.

Hunt: Showdown 1896 will be launching on 15th August, 2024.

Watch our cinematic trailer now:

Roaring bellows, pig squeals and the smell of burning meat!

From the 12th to the 14th of July, all contracts will feature The Butcher.

Best of luck, Hunters.

The servers are back online!

During the server downtime this week, we encountered some issues that required immediate attention. We've been working around the clock on repairs in several areas.

Some of the key points corrected in today's latest update:

• Players queuing for Duos being matched with Trios;
• Legendary hunters not receiving additional trait points when the three starting traits don't add up to 11;
• Potential fix for purchased items not appearing as available.

Additionally, as a first step towards isolating our server regions, there is now a temporary requirement that players be set to the same primary region in their clients for invites to work properly.

We've also made recent changes to our matchmaking rating system. We have moved to an Open Skill MMR system, and calculations have been adjusted to reduce volatility and address complaints related to de-ranking issues through soul survivor or solo play, whether intentional or as a by-product of repeated revives and deaths.

This refactor has also corrected many players' ratings that were artificially low or high based on the previous, more volatile calculations.

Star brackets have also been refactored, resulting in a significant change: the 6-star population has increased from 0.2% to closer to 2% of the player base.

We understand the inconvenience caused and are committed to providing a smoother experience moving forward.

Thank you for your continued support and patience.

Happy Hunting!
