  • Really excited for this!

    • Fire map return confirmed.
    • Twitch drop in October.
    • 25 hunter slots will be added (max of 75 up from 50).
    • Prestige is being changed to unlock more guns earlier on. Next year they will be making bigger changes to prestiege.
    • Challenge pools are going to get a refresh w/ new challenges.
    • Similar traits are going to be collapsed into one trait (e.g. scope smith will just be one trait).
    • Weapon inspection confirmed (rolling out in batches, starting with pistoles, melee weapons, and some tools, more will be added over time).
    • Console, controller, and gamepad support is getting a refactor to add aim assist, dead zone adjustments, and acceleration options this winter. Early next year custom button maps and a new weapon wheel.
    • New backend next year that will allow for updates without downtime.
    • These new servers will also fix issues with server outages (one region going down will not cause the entire game to go down).
    • The new servers will also give quicker inventory and bloodline interactions.
    • Network layer is being further improved to the timing accuracy (fixes rubber banding, projectile path consistency, and trade windows with long delays).
    • Match making is being refactored to be more stable (i.e., your MMR won't move as quickly).
    • Match making will allow a team of two to partner with a third random player.
    • Team voice chat will be changed to allow voice chat with randoms without broadcasting to everyone nearby (also works when dead).
    • Staffing up their anticheat, antitoxicity, and antitoxicity teams.
    • CryEngine 5.11 update is still under way, planned for release in early 2024.
    • New map early 2024 that launches with the update. The new map is a showcase of the new CryEngine features.
    • This will move hunt to the "current gen" of consoles (Xbox Series X, PS5 — free upgrade, all DLC and items carries over). No more Xbox One or PS4.
    • Hunt "Minimum Specs" are being increased ... (<10% of community expected to be impacted).
    • The game will support at least, DirectX 12, FSR 2.1.2, Direct Storage, and HDR. They will continue to add more features after launch.
    • Complete UI overhaul to refactor every screen and increase navigation to launch with this update as well (for both mouse and keyboard and console).

    Sounds like ~April 2024 will be a big update.
