Crytek is shaking things up this Halloween with an exciting collaboration alongside Fun World, introducing the iconic Ghost Face from the Scream franchise into their extraction shooter, Hunt: Showdown 1896. This partnership unveils the Ghost Face Rampage DLC, just in time to celebrate Halloween 2024. What’s more, Ghost Face has undergone a striking 19th-century transformation to seamlessly blend into the game’s atmospheric aesthetic.

This marks the first horror-themed collaboration for Hunt: Showdown 1896, coinciding with the spine-tingling Harvest of Ghosts in-game event, which is set to thrill players until 25 November 2024.

The Ghost Face Rampage DLC packs some serious punch, featuring a new Hunter—Ghost Face himself—along with two stealthy weapons: the Hush (Frontier 73C Silencer) and Whisper (Bornheim No. 3 Silencer). And for close encounters? There’s the Life Taker—a sleek knife designed for silent takedowns. These tools of the trade not only amplify the fun but also provide a strategic advantage perfect for the game’s intense, fast-paced gameplay.

However, as with any change, the reception has been mixed. While some devoted fans advocate for the game’s adherence to its unique 19th-century lore, others are thoroughly impressed by the fresh design. The game has recently faced scrutiny, with a wave of negative reviews following the end of support for older consoles and a significant user interface (UI) overhaul. Nonetheless, Hunt: Showdown 1896 has proven resilient, setting a new record in August with over 60,000 concurrent players—an impressive feat.

Get ready for a chilling new experience in this Ghost Face Rampage DLC on 24 October 2024 for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and Steam.
