How are the players reacting? On YouTube and Twitter, the commentary atmosphere is tense. “I can hardly wait,” writes one user and reaps numerous likes, another typed, “We heard you like hunting, so let’s pack hunting in Hunt.”
Why is this all so exciting? The reason for the high spirits are the new mechanics, such as crocodile traps and footprints that look suspiciously like large lizards. Apparently it’s all about tracking down and eliminating the pangolins. This raises the theory as to whether these are bosses from a whole new category hinted at in the Hunt roadmap.
What are the fans wondering about now? The tension is high because bosses are a central aspect of Hunt. A new monster category could fundamentally change the flow of matches. HomeReel, one of the biggest Hunt YouTubers, even discusses the theorythat the new alligator cages are only intended to provide fodder for an even larger monster that may soon be roaming the bayou.
When could the new boss come? The hypotheses fit with Crytek’s statement that the new type of boss monster does not appear in a building, but roams the open world freely. Of course, this fits in with the search for clues and the crocodile theme. However, there is no confirmation or even an appointment, only the summer of 2023 has been mentioned so far.
By the way, there’s now also a small single-player experience in Hunt! Fans of The Witcher will recognize an all too familiar voice.
In general, Hunt has a lot planned for this year and 2024, and a new map is also planned. How do you like the idea of ​​a reptilian boss who can roam freely in the world and has to be tracked down first? What kind of monster would you wish for? Write it to us in the comments!
