The deadliest game
The killing fields are open, team.Predator: Hunting Grounds’s free weekend kicked off last night, letting you skulk about a lush open forest full of heavily-armed soldiers, super-powered alien mercenaries, and enough mud to give Hollywood’s favourite muscle-man a mud bath three-times over - all without spending a penny.
Since its announcement last May,Predator: Hunting Groundshas been rather reclusive - skulking, invisibly, skinning soldiers and learning how to emulate a child’s laughter. I assume, at least.

The Predator comes in three flavours of its own (Hunter, Berserker and Scout), with the option to pick from male or female variations. These come with their own fancy gadgets and weapons to use - though all three can, well, nuke the map if it looks like things aren’t going their way. Poor sportsmanship, that.
The trial features one map, Undergrowth, wherein the human fireteam is looking to sabotage a local insurgency movement - when who should show up but the galaxy’s grumpiest skull-taker? Being set in the first film’s lush jungles, it seems there are currently no plans to let us hunt DannyGloverthrough the punk-addled streets of 80s New York City. Maybe that’s being lined up for DLC, eh?
