Predator hunting grounds new updates are on the horizon as IllFonic
The developer of Predator: Hunting Grounds, has announced that it will be taking over as the game's publisher. IllFonic formalized the transition with a new teaser released on Wednesday that confirmed it was now the publisher of the Predator game. The teaser said "The hunt begins again," indicating that more updates are on the way.
IllFonic's Teaser and Publishing Transition
The brief teaser for the apparent revival of Predator: Hunting Grounds was shared over on X via the official account for the game, which was spun up in February shortly before the publisher announcement happened. For context, Sony was originally the publisher of the asymmetrical Predator game, which meant that it first released on the PlayStation 4 and PC platforms. Now that IllFonic is taking over as the publisher, the game's creators announced that it's also coming to the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X|S platforms.
Upcoming Updates and Historical Context
What these new updates will look like, however, remains to be seen. Between now and 2020 when the game first released, Predator: Hunting Grounds has gotten updates and more content over time, such as tie-ins from the Predator franchise at large. The cadence of those updates slowed dramatically after 2022, however, with only one update released in 2023 and another released in April of this year. Since Predator: Hunting Grounds released, IllFonic has put out other games such as the original IP Arcadegeddon as well as other asymmetrical adaptations including Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed and Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game.
Exciting News for Predator Fans
We're excited to announce that IllFonic is now the publisher of Predator: Hunting Grounds and new updates are coming soon.
Crossplay and Platform Expansion
Predator: Hunting Grounds features crossplay between the PlayStation and PC platforms already, a feature which should be helpful when the game starts getting updated and ported to other platforms, seeing how the player count has understandably stagnated in recent years due to a lack of content. The game's got around 41 players right now and only ever peaked at just over 1,500 on Steam, though it was also available via the Epic Games Store and, of course, on the PS4.
Predator hunting grounds new updates are eagerly anticipated by fans, promising to breathe new life into the game.
