The killing fields are open, group. Predator: Hunting Grounds‘s free weekend kicked off last night, letting you skulk about a lush open forest full of heavily-armed soldiers, super-powered alien mercenaries, and enough mud to give Hollywood’s favorite muscle-man a mud bathtub three-times over – all with out spending a penny.
Since its announcement final May, Predator: Hunting Grounds has been quite reclusive – skulking, invisibly, skinning troopers and studying the best way to emulate a toddler’s laughter. I assume, not less than.
To catch up – Predator: Hunting Grounds is a 4v1 asymmetrical deathmatch, whereby 4 tooled-out military males need to drop out and in of a dense South American fight zome with out getting skinned alive by a 10-foot tall ghost. Human gamers get their choose of three totally different roles (of the ultimate game’s 4), from the lightly-armoured Scout or strolling re-supply bin Support, to the Assault – your bog-standard bloke with gun.
The Predator is available in three flavours of its personal (Hunter, Berserker and Scout), with the choice to select from male or feminine variations. These include their very own fancy devices and weapons to make use of – although all three can, effectively, nuke the map if it seems like issues aren’t going their approach. Poor sportsmanship, that.
The trial options one map, Undergrowth, whereby the human fireteam is seeking to sabotage an area insurgency motion – when who ought to present up however the galaxy’s grumpiest skull-taker? Being set within the first movie’s lush jungles, it appears there are at present no plans to allow us to hunt Danny Glover via the punk-addled streets of 80s New York City. Maybe that’s being lined up for DLC, eh?
Hunting Ground’s free weekend started final night time, and runs till 11pm tomorrow. You can get in by heading over to the Epic Games Store, the place Predator: Hunting Grounds will launch on April 20th for £32.
