Cryptic Studios Unveils Spooky New Multiplayer Game Hunt or Be Haunted

Ever wish Halloween lasted all year? Cryptic Studios might just grant that wish with their newly announced game, Hunt or Be Haunted. It's an in-development asymmetrical multiplayer title that's all about the spooky season.

Asymmetrical multiplayer is that genre where one side hunts and the other side runs — think Dead by Daylight or Evolve. Cryptic Studios is jumping into that space with a game that wears its Halloween heart on its sleeve. While details are still scarce, the concept alone has us intrigued.

Cryptic Studios isn't exactly a newcomer to the gaming scene. They're known for working on established franchises, so seeing them tackle an original asymmetrical multiplayer project is exciting. It suggests they're bringing their expertise to a fresh, spooky playground.

The game is still in development, so there's no release date or platforms confirmed yet. But the mere mention of a new asymmetrical multiplayer game with a Halloween theme is enough to get us speculating. Will it be a 1v4 setup? Will there be multiple monsters and survivors? Only time will tell.

What we do know is that Halloween events in existing games are fun, but a game that's built around that vibe from the ground up could be something special. It's like the difference between a holiday special and a series that's all about the holiday.

So keep your eyes peeled for more news on Hunt or Be Haunted. Cryptic Studios is cooking up something spooky, and we're here for it. Will you be picking this up when it launches? Let us know in the comments!
