As promised last week, we wanted to share some changes coming to our in-game voice chat. Communication is key when it comes to coordinated gameplay, and with these improvements we aim to streamline the VOIP experience, enhance clarity, and resolve some reported issues expressed within the community.


Team Communication Options

Team communication has been enhanced in Update 2.2 alongside Post Malone’s Murder Circus, with the inclusion of team chat in All/Proximity Chat. This change ensures that your voice will reach your teammates, wherever they are, providing seamless coordination during tense moments.

 
What will be improved in the upcoming 2.2.1 update?

Happy new year, Hunters!

To kick off 2025, we wanted to share a little more insight into what we have planned for the start of the year. We will be beginning by focusing on quality-of-life improvements and bug fixing as we look to improve the overall gameplay experience of Hunt. New events will be coming, but the core of these updates will center around performance improvements rather than tons of new content.

We have looked at some of the most severe bugs that currently exist, along with some of the most frequently reported, and more. While this is far from an exhaustive list of everything coming, here’s a brief list of just some of key fixes that you can expect for early 2025:

Gameplay Bugs
  • Fixed various crashes and freezes that occasionally occurred during gameplay, as well as when loading in and out of a ...

Port Sulphur Band, Hunt’s in-game band, have had an incredible 2024 and with this Developer Insight we would like to shine a light on their achievements for the year!

Originally conceived as both a way to drive atmosphere and tell stories in the supernatural world of Hunt, Port Sulphur Band was born. Their music brings life to the haunting tales of the 1800s Louisiana bayou, and over time what began as a storytelling tool has become a fully-fledged band with over 67 million streams.

2024 was a huge year for the band, and they released 5 different singles: An Acquired Taste, Make Them Bleed, Dressed to Die, Curtain Call and their latest single, You Call it Madness.

In August their vinyl collection, Shadows Calling, was launched in partnership with Black Screen Records, and it was an incredible success - even charting number 62 on the Germa... Read more
