Check out the debut trailer

Crytek has revealed its new four-player co-op title Hunt: Horrors of the Gilded Age with an atmospheric trailer.
The game, which you can see below, is described as “a spine-chilling new multiplayer experience on PC and consoles”. The action apparently takes place in third-person and will task four players with banding together to fight off waves of bloodthirsty creatures and hunt down bosses.

Set in the late 1800s, Hunt takes place in a world where myths and legends give insight into the evil that really lurks around every corner. You star as a hunter – one of the few willing to take up arms to try and reduce the number of horrors infesting the world. Content is at least partially procedurally-generated, in a bid to make sure you won’t encounter the same environment, enemies or bosses multiple times. This unpredictability is what’s set to scare, apparently.
Closed beta kicks off later this year on PC. The game is the debut offering from Crytek USA and will help fill out the roster of Crytek’s Games-as-a-Service range, alongside the previously announced Arena of Fate.
At the moment it sounds a bit like Left 4 Dead with hints of Evolve’s unique hunters. The title will be shown off for the first time at E3 so, with any luck, we’ll have more information for you very soon.
