For the last four years, I've been unashamedly addicted to a multiplayer extraction shooter called Hunt: Showdown. It's the game I've played the most hours of in my life so far – I surpassed 2,000 hours at the end of last year – and I may or may not have a piece of artwork from the game tattooed on my ribs. My blatant fandom and oversharing aside, it's an exciting time for anyone to be hooked on Crytek's first-person shooter.
Despite celebrating its sixth birthday back in February, Hunt is on the verge of receiving its biggest update since launch. A top-to-bottom engine upgrade, a new map, a new user interface, and a dedicated next-gen console port all arrive in August, alongside numerous long-awaited quality-of-life updates.
