"Hunted: Showdown" will be adapted into a live-action series exclusively on Binge

Hunt: Showdown, a multiplayer shooter developed by Crytek, is to be adapted into a TV series by Binge, an emerging streaming platform that will launch in 2022.

Crytek announced the news on its official blog. Co-founder and CEO Avni Yerli, co-founder Faruk Yerli and CE Engine Director Pascal Tonecker will serve as executive producers of the Hunt: Showdown series together with Binge's producers.

Binge is a new streaming platform that focuses on creating original series based on popular games and content creators. Binge plans to land on PC, mobile and console in the form of free subscription. Players can earn Bytz by watching videos, but it is not clear how to spend them.

"Hunted: Showdown" was released in 2018 and is set in the bayou of Louisiana in the 19th century. It has received particularly good reviews on Steam.

In addition to Hunt: Showdown, Binge is also developing live-action adaptations of System Shock and Ubisoft's racing game Drive.

About This Game

Hunt: Showdown is an intense, high-stakes PvPvE first-person shooter. Destroy nightmarish monsters and fight for bounties for glory, gear, and gold in a brutal and unforgettable online multiplayer experience.

The year is 1895 and you are a hunter tasked with exterminating the horrific monsters that have infested the Louisiana bayou. Play alone or as a duo or trio, looking for clues to help you track your target and compete with other hunters for the same reward. Kill and banish your target, collect the bounty, then prepare for a showdown; once you claim the bounty, other hunters on the map will flock to you, intent on taking your loot. Fight in this dark and brutal world with powerful weapons that fit the era, show no mercy, and level up, unlock equipment, and collect experience points and gold for your bloodline.

High-risk, high-reward, high-intensity gameplay

Competitive matchmaking combines PvP and PvE elements to create a unique and exciting experience where your character and gear are at risk. Success will be richly rewarded, but remember: one small mistake can cost you your Hunter, and all the gear they carry.
