Last week, we all learned that Grammy-nominated songwriter Post Malone's favorite FPS is Hunt: Showdown 1896, telling Crytek in an interview that he's logged 400 hours in the extraction shooter since he discovered the game this year.
Now we know what Malone and Crytek's new friendship was building to: a new season of Hunt called Post Malone's Murder Circus.
Despite the season being named after the star directly, the collaboration sounds a bit different than when Fortnite just placed John Cena on the map.
Malone is playing a character in Hunt—the Deposed King, «lord of the circus and the human oddities who made up its twisted crew.» The circus is making a stop in the Bayou and Gulch, and Crytek is calling this the biggest Hunt event to date.
Beyond the star power, the Murder Circus is bringing a new monster type to Hunt: the Ursa Mortis, «orphaned bear cubs turned unnatural beast.» Crytek specifically did not refer to Ursa Mortis as a boss or wild target, so it seems likely this is a new type of mob enemy.
