As the Crow Carves, a new Legacy Chronicle for Hunt: Showdown 1896, is available now, Crytek confirms in its Steam announcement. The story follows the man once known as The Plague Doctor and his harrowing role in Bloodskin’s creation.

Challenges unlock the full story and a collection of rewards. Among them is a new rendition of a familiar Legendary Hunter, now known as The Plague Surgeon.

Bloodskin was already a Boss Target in Blood Testament, with Hunters sent after the creature in the Written in Blood challenge. As the Crow Carves turns to the story of how Bloodskin came to be.
