Hunt: Showdown 1896 2.2.1 Update Details and New Hunter Zhuge Liu

Hunt: Showdown 1896 has dropped its first update of the year, version 2.2.1, following the massive 2.2 update from last year. This update brings a range of changes, from AI tweaks to adjustments in the popular Bounty Clash mode.

For a full breakdown, check out their official community blog post, but it’s worth highlighting the bug section, as it addresses some of the major concerns the community has raised recently. From crashes to Immolator and Dark Sight bugs, this update tackles several pressing issues, marking the beginning of what we hope will be more community-driven fixes in the future.

Along with the fixes, the update introduces a new Hunter, Zhuge Liu - a warrior from the East with a distinct aesthetic that stands out even in the Hunt universe. To celebrate the release, there’s also a Year of The Snake bundle, the Coiled Serpent BB Bundle. This pack features the new Hunter, an exclusive weapon skin for the Chu Ko Nu (Spring Rain), and a new charm, the Snake Bell.

With these exciting updates and the fresh addition of Zhuge Liu, Hunt: Showdown 1896 is off to a solid start in 2025. As mentioned, we’re hopeful that this will be just the beginning of many more updates and content drops as we move through the year and dive deeper into the Bayou.
