New Light the Shadow Event launches for Hunt: Showdown

Legendary weapons, new Legendary Hunters, and more rewards up for grabs, the event is also featured in a brand-new trailer

Sydney, Australia, 26th August 2021 – Hunt: Showdown players are invited to join the game’s latest live event, available now.

The Light the Shadow Event offers players the chance to earn Legendary weapons, Blood Bonds, Hunt Dollars, and the opportunity to add two Legendary Native American Hunters, “The Exile” and “The Third Son,” to their ranks.

The event offers two distinct routes to earn rewards, Path One: Pierce the Shadow or The Path Two: Cleave the Shadow, with different rewards and weapons on offer for each. Players who complete one path can also complete the remaining path to earn all the rewards on offer during the event.

A brand new event themed DLC will be added to the game “Bayou Wraith” which includes a Legendary Hunter (Techie Wraith) and two Legendary weapons. 

By completing both paths, players can earn two Legendary Hunters, “The Exile” and “The Third Son”. Players can choose which path they wish to follow or complete both during the event to earn all rewards:

About Hunt: Showdown

Hunt: Showdown is a competitive first-person bounty hunting game that packs the thrill of survival games into a match-based format. Set in Louisiana in 1895, the game boasts a mixture of PvP and PvE elements that creates a uniquely tense experience. It’s not just the creatures who are a threat—it’s every Hunter on the map. In the classic game mode, a match of Hunt pits 12 players—playing solo or in teams of two or teams of three —against each other as they race to take out gruesome beasts for a bounty they must collect and get off of the map, while Hunt’s quickplay mode offers a shorter match for solo players to scavenge for weapons as they compete for a diminishing pool of bounty. The higher the risk, the higher the reward–but a single mistake could cost everything. Hunt is available now on Steam. For more information, visit www.huntshowdown.com.
