Title of the event: Post Malone’s Murderous Carnival

Hunt Showdown: 1896 Post Malone Crossover Teaser Hints at What’s to Come

According to Crytek’s press release, the event description for “Post Malone’s Murder Circus” depicts a twisted carnival world altered by an artifact called the HelioStone. Post Malone, portraying a vengeful Deposed King and former Ringmaster, is integrating his distinctive creative flair into the game’s grim historical settings corrupted by evil. Forced away by the HelioStone’s power, Post has been tracking the circus across the continent with the intention of destroying it. Each time it appears, he attempts to demolish it completely. Sometimes he enlists the help of others – bounty hunters, outlaws, and similar characters – for the task. At other times, he tackles it alone. Yet, the HelioStone always manages to evade him, leading to a continuous pursuit.

1896: Hunt Showdown, a game that captivates Post Malone (whose real name is Austin Richard Post), as he expresses his intense dedication to it: “You’re either fully committed or you’ve lost. I can either dominate and eliminate an opponent, or I’m completely vulnerable…. With every game I play, I’m thrilled, like it’s amazing. Whenever I succeed, I feel like I’m the best player in the entire universe.

Although no specific date for the event has been announced yet, Crytek hints at a new monster – the corrupted bear cubs known as Ursa Mortis. These creatures were once orphaned cubs but have been transformed into grotesque beasts due to the influence of HelioStone, causing their minds and bodies to become twisted with savage hunger.

Just as with any other occasion, you can expect freshly designed hunter outfits tied to specific themes, unique weapon modifications, new types of adversaries, and much more. It’s likely that this event will come bundled with a title update that also tackles various bugs and enhances the overall experience.

Initially launched in 2018, Hunt Showdown has consistently maintained an active player community. This year, it underwent a transformation, rebranding as Hunt Showdown: 1896, and was relaunched on a fresh engine. The older versions of the game (PS4 and Xbox One) were discontinued to pave the way for the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions.
