The deadliest multiplayer game of all – conceal and search – is coming to glorious Prey enlargement Mooncrash subsequent week, free. Typhon Hunter was introduced when Mooncrash launched, and sounds so much like Prop Hunt, a mode massive with the Garrys Mod and Team Fortress 2 scenes. Six gamers, one as an more and more paranoid human and the opposite 5 as shapeshifting Mimics ready for an opportunity to pounce. It’ll be a free replace subsequent Tuesday, December 11th for anybody with the Mooncrash enlargement, together with a VR escape room mode. That’s a trailer under, not a mimic – promise.
While I doubt Typhon Hunter will keep effectively populated for lengthy (Mooncrash, a lot as I beloved it, was a distinct segment inside a distinct segment), I’m keen to leap in with associates. Until now, Prey has been a solitary, paranoid expertise, and cribbing from Prop Hunt for the multiplayer is an excellent choice. The paranoia retained, and each participant’s mad flailing at random, vaguely suspicious wanting objects will now be seen and exploited by others. Prey has already conditioned its gamers effectively, so barring any technical foibles, it received’t take individuals lengthy to get the grasp of the multiplayer.
I lack the funds in the meanwhile for a VR headset (anybody need to purchase me one? No? Okay), so I’m simply going to should be jealous of these with fancy space-goggles. Launching alongside the Typhon Hunter mode is Transtar VR, a single-player escape room set earlier than the occasions of Prey, with a number of maps. There’s additionally a VR museum tour, letting you poke across the guts of Prey’s setting, and some Typhon creatures up shut. Also coming in a 2019 replace is Typhon Hunter VR, for individuals who received’t simply die immediately when a horrible alien shadow-spider jumps at their face.
The trailer additionally jogs my memory that whereas Prey’s soundtrack was principally ambient background, it sometimes ramped up into some actual bangers. This one at all times introduced homicide to the dance flooring. Given that the karaoke bar is likely one of the areas in Typhon Hunter, we’d even be listening to it mid-match.
Typhon Hunter and Transtar VR launch as a free replace to Mooncrash subsequent Tuesday, December 11th. Not received Mooncrash but since you heard it was just a few little roguelike problem mode?
