Hunt: Showdown 1896 News

Developer Insight - Returning Items to the Bayou & Beyond



Hunters,

We have heard a fair amount of feedback regarding items that are no longer available and their potential return to Hunt. Players have joined the game at various times over the years, which has meant that certain Skins are inaccessible based solely on when they joined the Hunt community. With so much unique content available, we can understand the desire to have more opportunities to grab things you may have missed. As a result, we are actively exploring solutions for this.

As of today, we are excited to announce that we will be introducing past Battle Pass content, and we are starting with re-releasing Skins from our previous Scorched Earth Event. The current set is the Tactical Set, which features Thunderstroke (Rival 78), Covert Messenger (Romero 77 Alamo) and Shrewd Savior (Krag). Additionally, we have two more Scorched Earth-themed Skin sets scheduled for release during Update 2.4, and these Skins will remain permanently in the game. It’s important to note that there will be some restrictions around what content can return to Hunt. Some previous cosmetics were promoted as exclusive to certain Events, so to be fair to the players who unlocked those Skins at the time, we want to honour that. That’s not to say new content inspired by original designs is an impossibility, however...

We hope you guys are excited about the chance to grab some returning items while still preserving the legacy elements that players have diligently earned in the past.

We’re excited to show you what else we have in store for you, Hunters. For now, enjoy Judgement of the Fool!
