Hunters,
With our latest Halloween Event, we have revealed our first IP collaboration with the Ghost Face Rampage DLC. We acknowledge that this step has stirred up some feelings of frustration within the community, and we appreciate the fact that the response is coming from a place of loyalty and love for the game.
With that in mind, we want to assure you that the introduction of IP collaborations is focused on working with brands that blend well with the world of Hunt, while staying true to themselves. We feel these new characters and personalities allow us to continue to build unique and interesting stories within the Hunt mythos, while welcoming new players into our world through the use of familiar faces.
We understand the concerns expressed—nobody wants to see Hunt lose its roots in the pursuit of new content and players. All of our endeavors to reach out to new audiences and expand our community will prioritize maintaining a balance between the core spirit of Hunt and creating collaborations that we feel fit our themes, setting, and storytelling.
We will always be careful and selective before we introduce any new material, as we look to develop authentic and engaging new narrative threads.
In the case of the Ghost Face Rampage DLC, we have worked to create an iteration of the horror icon that firmly fits into the Hunt setting. Rather than introducing a modern character, our version of Ghost Face tells a historic tale of the legendary mask throughout history. The centuries-old mask was passed down from generation to generation, inspiring bloody killing sprees throughout history. And in the 1890s, it found its way to Louisianna in the hands of a madman, driven to murderous frenzy by its foul whispers.
We hope this can relieve some of the concerns expressed and reassure our loyal community that the atmosphere of Hunt will not be compromised as we explore new avenues of creating new content.
