Coming to PC and consoles from Crytek US (old Vigil Games). Here's the press release:

Brace yourself for a spine-chilling new multiplayer experience on PC and consoles as Crytek ventures into the shadows in "HUNT: Horrors of the Gilded Age".

An all-new IP, HUNT is a third-person action game where up to four players band together to fend off an onslaught of bloodthirsty creatures and track down breathtaking bosses. Featuring intense co-op gameplay, HUNT is the debut title from Crytek USA Corp., and will be published by Crytek as part of their growing Games-as-a-Service range. Players won't have to wait long to take a closer look at HUNT in action, with the game going on show at this year's E3 expo from June 10-12.

David Adams, CEO of Crytek USA Corp., said: "In HUNT: Horrors of the Gilded Age, players will be counting their bullets and crying out for help as they delve deeper into the shadowy world we've created. From the outset of the development process, we've poured our imaginations into the game so that everyone who plays HUNT will discover a challenging experience that feels fresh, captivating and rich in possibilities."

Set in the late 1800s, HUNT depicts a world where so-called myths and folklore actually point to the terrifying truth about evil lurking just beyond the fringes of day-to-day life. Players act as hunters willing to take up arms and risk their necks by venturing into the deadliest of territories and facing the hideous creatures that have overrun them.

Adding to the thrill of the hunt is a special content generation system that ensures players never encounter exactly the same environment or set of enemies twice. As the surprises come thick and fast, the terror of knowing that one of the game's grueling boss battles could be just around the corner will keep everyone's pulses pounding. Defeating bosses will require close collaboration between hunters as they attempt to figure out and take down some truly terrifying monsters.

HUNT: Horrors of the Gilded Age is scheduled to enter Closed Beta testing on PC later this year, and players can sign up for a chance to experience the game first at http://www.huntthegame.com

E3 2014 attendees looking to see HUNT in the flesh should visit Crytek at booth 4500 in the Los Angeles Convention Center.

You mean "Hunt: Horrors of the Gilded Age" ?

 

[JehutyRunner]

For some reason, Arena of Fate was the article headline from EG when it went live. Can a mod fix the thread title to reflect the correct title, Hunt: Horrors of the Gilded Age?

 

[Jito]

Easy misspelling to make.

 

[KnockOneOff]

hopefully in time for Halloween

 

[CyberPunked]

CryEngine looking fine as ever.

he talks about a different game, read the op

 

[Bit-Bit]

Fuck yeah. The cryengine looks great for that style.

 

[Raide]

So is this a new Hunter: The Reckoning style game?

 

[Jim_Bob]

Coop monster slaying, nice. It has a L4D vibe, this and evolve are right up my street.

 

[velociraptor]

Vigil Games are superb developers so as long as this isn't F2P, I'll keep a close eye on this.

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

So is this a new Hunter: The Reckoning style game?

most likely l4d but a new isometric horror game would be pretty awesome

 

[Raide]

most likely l4d but a new isometric horror game would be pretty awesome

The site mentions some weapon customization as well as having the maps play out differently each time. Maybe some L4D Director style stuff going on?

It mentions PC and console but what are the chances of MS pulling a Titanfall on this one?

 

[The Flash]

That looks pretty cool. It's like L4D but in the 1800's. Instant buy for me.

 

[JehutyRunner]

Pulled the Eurogamer link and put in the press release instead.

 

[Jim_Bob]

Vigil Games are superb developers so as long as this isn't F2P, I'll keep a close eye on this.

It's been confirmed to be in the "Games as a service" program, which looks to be F2P games.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

 

[antitrop]

Sounds pretty cool. F2P means I'll at least give it a shot.

 

[jet1911]

It's a TPS, I'm interested.

 

[Raide]

I think we need to edit the thread title.

 

[Gbraga]

Someone get tragic here to talk about the combat system and convince us that it isn't doomed because it's free to play.

 

[Danneee]

"Games-as-a-Service"
Just a rewrite of F2P?

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

It mentions PC and console but what are the chances of MS pulling a Titanfall on this one?

yeah sounds like it changes the monster set i think thats pretty neat would be cool if they have to be tackled differently like zombies only going down with head shots and stuff like that but well see what they do with it theres gotta be something on it at e3

 

[Hyun Sai]

Coop ?

Between Destiny, the next Homefront and this, I couldn't be more pleased by the upcoming years.

 

[wapplew]

The multiplayer mode we all wanted for The Order 1886?

 

[IcyEyes]

Co-op !?
Sold!

ps awesome trailer!

 

[V_Ben]

Happy to see this announced

 

[dyergram]

Reminds me of:

 

[Raide]

More co-op = great!

Signed up for the beta. Will keep an eye on what it does. Next week should be interesting.

 

[Skinny Pete]

Looks much more interesting than homefront.

 

[GoaThief]

If you're doing L4D style games, I think it's important to remember that the core of the game is Versus. This doesn't seem to have it, which is a shame as that is one of the main reasons why L4D works so well.

I don't have much interest in grinding out the same few missions against AI. After you learn patterns it's not particularly interesting nor anywhere near as satisfying as besting a rival team of humans. Even better with competitive yet asymmetrical gameplay.

 

[JavaMind]

The Order with COOP? Nice really NICE!

 

[Nemesis_]

I assume this is kind of recouped assets that have been retooled and repurposed from what they had planned for Darksiders 3? Keen to see how it turns out, regardless.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Free to play eh?

The character designs look amazing and I trust Vigil will do a good job. Won't hurt to try out.

 

[Salex_]

This looks great. I'm glad it's not another FPS.

People should at least wait to hear about the F2P model before complaining...With so many recent/upcoming proper F2P games, it doesn't make any sense blindly dismiss F2P games.

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

Vigil Games are superb developers so as long as this isn't F2P, I'll keep a close eye on this.

f2p dosnt have to be bad if it means well get free new monster types and maps every now and then mixed with either paying for doodads or selling new playable heroes that play differently then the rest im ok with that

 

[Tregard]

With this, Evolve, Destiny, and probably Left 4 Dead 3, I'm gonna need to find three co-op partners.

 

[Parakeetman]

color me interested and sign me up.

 

[DrLazy]

Evolve and HUNT this year? Good for PC gamers

 

[catmario]

So It's F2P huh?

F2P.....

 

[Head.spawn]

Glad to see them back in action and in good form too!

 

[Gbraga]

I'm assuming we'll have some gameplay at E3, since they're showing this now and it's coming out soon?

EDIT: I hope the monetizing involves more playable female characters. I'm ok with the dude to ther left though.

 

[Tsukumo]

Another Borderlands/Mass Effect 3/Destiny pseudo-horde-mode?
just hook it to my veins!

 

[Ingueferroque]

Crytek is making all of these weird announcements. But nothing impresses me.

 

[Yaoibot]

This actually looks fun. I'm imagining Penny Dreadful X Diablo. And that's not a bad thing, at all.

 

[Gareth Bale]

"Games-as-a-Service range"

Not a fan of this but I'll keep and eye on it

 

[antitrop]

Reminds me of:

Damnation is the kind of game that makes a case for the whole 1-10 review scale. Easily one of the worst games ever printed to a disc, it's Ride to Hell-tier.
