It looks like Hunt: Showdown has a massive update on the way for fans in August. Today, Crytek revealed that Hunt’s next big update is getting a variety of features, including a new map, a new upgrade to the CRYENGINE that runs the game, a new UI/UX, and plenty more. Unfortunately, it also comes with the caveat that support for Hunt: Showdown on PS4 and Xbox One is ending with the August update.

Here are the highlights that were revealed for the August update, and what’s covered in the developer video:

New map
New UX/UI design
Technological upgrades and performance improvements coming to Hunt via CRYENGINE 5.11
An update on the Fair Play Task Force and the steps being taken to address cheating, exploitive play, and toxic interactions
The evolution of Hunter recruitment/Prestige systems, as well as changes being made to the progression system
Overall design vision for game mechanics and the decisions being made around Hunter revival, Health Chunks, restorations, burning downed Hunters, and more
