Hunt: Showdown is Crytek’s new multiplayer game, and it’s going to E3 in June

Crytek is hoping to go beyond its hit Crysis series with a new game, Hunt: Showdown. The company, which has struggled in recent years, said it’ll show this new multiplayer shooter at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) trade event in Los Angeles in June.

Crytek is always ambitious at producing triple-A, or high-end, games. That’s probably why it got into financial trouble in recent years. Crytek didn’t say what platforms it would be on, and it did not yet respond to our requests for comment on that.
