Hunt: Showdown 1896’s Blood Testament Event Will Begin on September 8
The announcement invokes a rising Blood Moon and points players toward the bayou and the gulch.
Hunt: Showdown 1896 has revealed the name and start date for its next event. Blood Testament will begin on September 8, bringing a Blood Moon-themed chapter to the bayou and the gulch.
The announcement keeps the details deliberately brief. Players are invited to unleash hell across both locations, while the Blood Moon provides the event’s ominous backdrop. It is a short setup, but the name alone sounds like trouble is already knocking on the saloon door.
No rewards, progression system, event end date, or gameplay changes were included in the announcement. Crytek also linked an official Hunt: Showdown 1896 update page alongside the cinematic trailer.
The trailer serves as the first official look at Blood Testament, although the announcement does not yet explain what Hunters will need to do once the event begins. More concrete details will be needed before players know whether the Blood Moon changes the way matches play or simply sets the mood.
