Predator: Hunting Grounds Revealed by Friday 13th May

Today, PlayStation’s latest State of Play stream revealed Illfonic’s next big title, Predator: Hunting Grounds. As you probably know, this is the same developer behind Friday the 13th: The Game. The studio's new game is described as an asymmetrical multiplayer game, which basically means that you can be either the Predator or the team being hunted by it.

It’s worth noting the above reveal trailer doesn’t show any actual gameplay, so it remains to be seen what the in-game experience will look like for players. Perhaps this is but a smaller teaser that might lead us to a much bigger reveal at next month’s E3, which is taking place from June 11th to the 13th at the Los Angeles Convention Center.


Predator: Hunting Grounds is based on the popular film franchise of the same name and it is coming from IllFonic, the studio that brought us Friday the 13th: The Game . It follows the same gameplay mechanic where players take control of Jason Vorhees against and attempts to murder the human characters. In the Predator game, players can play co-op in a team of four against Predator or play as the alien hunter himself.

The teaser video doesn't show much. A four-man armed group is scouting a tropical forest with ancient remains and structures at a distance. Towards the end, Predator appears in his cloaked or invisible appearance making that menacing grunting noise that he loves.

As reported by Polygon, IllFonic chief executive Charles Bernhardt said that the human team will be packing a lot of firepower tasked with shooting up bad guys and recovering loot. Players picking Predator will have access to its special abilities including the cloaking mechanism and the iconic Plasmacaster. Predator will be always on the move trying to track and ambush the humans.

A more detailed gameplay explanation was posted on the PlayStation blog. It stated, "One group of players will control members of an elite Fireteam who pack state-of-the-art conventional firepower, from shotguns and SMGs to sniper rifles and more. Meanwhile, one player will control the Predator: a stealthy, acrobatic killing machine bristling with exotic alien technology such as the infamous Plasmacaster. As the Fireteam attempt to carry out paramilitary missions - annihilating bad guys and recovering important items - the Predator will be closing in, using its advanced vision mode to track and ambush its prey."
