Hunt Showdown 1896 Introduces Ghost Face Hunter For Halloween Season

Hunt: Showdown 1896 has fully embraced the spooky season, and in a surprising announcement, Crytek has partnered with Fun World to bring the iconic Scream villain, Ghost Face, into the game. This new hunter comes equipped with deadly gear and, of course, the infamous mask we all recognize and fear.

Let’s dive into the details of Ghost Face's release, the equipment he will be wielding, and how you can unlock him in Hunt: Showdown 1896.

Ghostface Hunter DLC Revealed For Harvest Of Ghosts Halloween Event

As part of their collaboration with Fun World, Crytek is releasing the Ghost Face Rampage DLC on October 24th for Steam, Xbox Series, and PlayStation 5, priced at $9.99/€9.99. This release ties into the Harvest of Ghosts in-game event, which runs until November 25th. The DLC introduces a new Ghost Face Hunter, wearing the iconic mask from the Scream franchise.

The mantle of Ghost Face® has been worn by many over the years, with this incarnation being a uniquely deadly rendition. Armed with his iconic knife, Life Taker, he makes the waterways run red with the blood of his victims.

This new Hunter not only dons the famous mask, but his gear is also finely tuned to fit the eerie, decrepit world of Hunt: Showdown 1896. His arsenal is designed for silent killing, much like his on-screen persona, featuring the Hush, a Frontier 73C Silencer, and the Whisper, a Bornheim No. 3 Silencer.

Additionally, he wields a massive knife known as the Life Taker, giving him an edge in close-quarters combat, just like his deadly proficiency with blades in the films. Ghost Face looks undeniably cool, but some fans have expressed concerns.

While many players appreciate the addition of unique Hunters, others feel that Hunt should remain true to its grounded 19th-century aesthetic—a fair criticism. However, with the game gaining more attention under its 1896 rebranding, it makes sense to introduce more broadly appealing Hunters like Ghost Face.

Regardless, Hunt: Showdown 1896 is shaping up for a spooky and thrilling Halloween season, and with the Ghost Face Hunter joining the fray, now is a great time to dive into the game and enjoy all the eerie content it has to offer.
