Bound by Blood is now available for Hunt: Showdown 1896, adding Sophie Laurent as The Protegee, a Legendary Hunter. Crytek’s Steam announcement also lists six accompanying items. Crytek had previewed Blood Testament Chapter 2 lineup as bringing a DLC alongside a new Story Challenge, Community Event, two Tarot Cards, a Tool, and Twitch Drops.

The additions include Primrose for the Mosin-Nagant, Skin Deep for the Sparks Pistol, and Skin Deep: Silencer for the Sparks Pistol Silencer. The White Fox is an Ammo Box skin, while The Protegee also comes with a matching avatar and frame.

Sophie Laurent had maintained a meek, harmless image until she met a white-haired witch. That encounter is the turning point in the new Hunter’s backstory.
