Crytek the developer of Hunt: Showdown has revealed that Koch Media will act as the new publisher for Hunt: Showdown on PlayStation 4 (release date: February 18th) and Xbox One moving forward. Koch Media is responsible for both the global retail and digital releases of the game on these platforms.
The extended partnership follows Koch Media’s successful retail release of Hunt: Showdown for PC in 2019. Crytek will continue to develop Hunt: Showdown, and act as publisher for the PC version on Steam. The two companies will be working together closely to deliver the best possible gaming experience across all platforms.
“With Koch handling the publishing side of things, our development team can put all of their focus on continuing to develop and optimize Hunt across platforms, together with our community,”
“While we focus on development, Koch will apply their immense digital and retail publishing expertise to the title, supporting the game’s continued growth. We can’t wait to see what PlayStation players think of the game, and to continue to bring new content to all our players in the coming year.”
Avni Yerli, Crytek CEO
In the next year, players can expect even more content to be added to Hunt: Showdown via the regular updates that the game has delivered throughout its lifespan. Update 1.2 is slated to bring random teams of three, an advanced tutorial, new Legendary Hunters, and new equipment and weapons across the board. Players can also expect server-side performance improvements, client CPU performance fixes, and a number of other general bug fixes.
“Hunt: Showdown is a unique game, that all of us here at Koch Media who already supported the PC retail release have a lot of fun playing,”
“The feedback we see from the PC community and the high quality standards of the game underline our confidence in the global release on PS4 and Xbox.”
Dr. Klemens Kundratitz, Koch Media CEO
Looking beyond Update 1.2, Hunt: Showdown will see the introduction of even greater features, including cross-play between Xbox and PlayStation, Solo PvE mode, live events, customization of the outfit and new map.
