Experience the Thrill of ‘Hunt: Showdown’ in the Latest Steam Trailer
It seems like Crytek’s Hunt: Showdown is finally starting to take shape. Well, after two years in the making, you’d hope it would be. Regardless, the devs have released a new trailer for the game, which focuses on the PvP/PvE aspects that definitely have some cool possibilities with them.
For those not in the know, Hunt: Showdown has five teams of two entering the Louisiana swamps to hunt the monsters that populate it. As objectives are completed, players upgrade and build their characters with gear and rewards. The other teams have the same goal, but they can also choose to instead dispatch the other teams and take their items. Do you wait until one of the teams has done all the heavy lifting, then pounce? Or do you pick off the other teams from the start, leaving you the sole team to hunt?
The game is slated for Steam Early Access “soon”.

All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
