The game was originally in development at Crytek USA, who wished to create a spiritual successor to Darksiders--a video game series developed by their predecessor, Vigil Games--under the title Hunt: Horrors of the Gilded Age . After the initial announcement in June 2014, Crytek USA was shut down due to financial issues, and the development was brought to the Crytek headquarters . The game, under the new title Hunt: Showdown, was re-announced in May 2017 . Hunt: Showdown was launched on Steam in early access on February 22, 2018 . </P> <P> Vigil Games, known for the Darksiders series, was shut down by THQ in 2013 as part of the publisher's bankruptcy . While Crytek's founder Cevat Yerli had expressed an interest in bidding for the Austin - based studio based on their work on Darksiders alone (and because Crytek was already planning to establish a U.S. subsidiary in the city), he did not feel that their products fit with the company's business strategy . However, immediately after Vigil was closed, Yerli brought Vigil head David L. Adams on board to lead the new studio, Crytek USA, citing Adams' leadership skills . In turn, Crytek USA would hire many former employees from Vigil . It was originally stated that the new studio would focus on developing new projects rather than pursue regaining the rights to its former properties . However, the studio did attempt to re-gain the rights to Darksiders--but they were instead acquired by Nordic Games . </P>
