Crytek (@Crytek) and 9x Diamond Certified artist Post Malone (@postmalone) have confirmed that 'Post Malone’s Murder Circus', the latest in-game event for Hunt: Showdown 1896, will debut on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC on December 12, 2024.

The new limited-time event transports players to the demented carnivalesque realm where a supernatural sideshow with a murderous history makes its mark on the Bayou, the Gulch and beyond.

In addition to new Circus Grunt enemy variants and the fearsome two-headed Ursa Mortis bear, the Circus compound features a twisted Fortune Telling Machine that can grant players powerful traits - for a price. Hunters who brave the stage will find rewards, but they must be wary of the dark fortunes that come with them.

Exclusive new content and game mechanics themed around Murder Circus:

• Circus-specific compounds appear on all maps in the Bounty Hunt mode
• Mysterious Fortune Telling Machine - accepts Pledge Marks in exchange for rare rewards.
• Circus Shooting Range

• Ursa Mortis - a challenging new AI defender with a distinct terrifying design.
• Circus Grunts - new AI grunt enemies, members of circus troupe armed with thematic weapons and boasting unique freaky costumes and sound design.

Innovative Weapons, variants, equipment and ammunition:

• Shredder: An experimental mythic weapon shooting both sawblades, and which bounce off hard surfaces and around corners – so players need to keep their wits about them.
• Chu Ko Nu: A high-rate-of-fire repeating crossbow

Lawson Delta map makes a comeback in a stunning new update. And adding to the immersive experience, two new Port Sulphur Band songs will be featured in the event. Many more new features and additions will be announced soon!

Post Malone's Murder Circus will welcome players into the tent until February 10th 2025.
