Crytek has announced that the long-awaited upgrade for Hunt: Showdown will be launching on August 15th, 2024. The update will bring with it a new map, CRYENGINE version 5.11, and performance improvements.
These performance improvements will be for both the PC and consoles. Additionally, gamers will get a new UI/UX design.
To celebrate this announcement, the development team released a short video outlining what players can expect in the upcoming weeks. So, be sure to watch it.
It’s also worth noting that a mountain of new content will be coming throughout Summer 2024 for the Hunt: Showdown community.
Week by week, the community can expect to see more about:
- Community surveys, lessons learned, and how this data will affect future events
- A sneak peek into the new UX/UI design
- Technological upgrades and performance improvements coming to Hunt via CRYENGINE 5.11 and what that means for players
- An update on the Fair Play Task Force and the steps being taken to address cheating, exploitive play, and toxic interactions
- The evolution of Hunter recruitment/ Prestige systems, as well as changes being made to the progression system

Ah there it is! News about CryEngine! I’ll follow them closely out of the desire and need for more competition for Unreal.
I wonder though how they’re surviving on the shoulders of this game alone, Crytek is so weird…
Have you seen how much the entire game cost with still the microtransaction? Go take a look, it will show how and why they keep going with this business model. Because a sucker is born before you can finish saying steam.
Still hopeful CryEngine remains relevant for years to come. Need to keep some major players available to keep UE5 from becoming a monopoly.
Thank god Kingdom Come: Deliverance II stuck with Cry Engine
and a Crysis 4 update can’t come soon enough
Major players? LOL. CryEngine is irrelevant and almost nobody use it anymore. The engine hasn’t been updated for years. Crytek had a chance to beat UE5, but those greedy turkish kebab bois blew it and ran the company into the ground.
5.11 is only a couple of months old.
Wut? The last one was 5.7.1 two years ago and it was just a mere bug-fixing update. They killed forum, removed source code from the github and even their documentation server is down.
its also in the same article we’re commenting on.
