With upgraded visuals, audio design, rendering performance and more, this is a whole new era of Hunt.
A New Hellscape: Mammon’s Gulch
Our brand-new map, Mammon’s Gulch, drags you into a brutal, unforgiving landscape with a battleground that tests every ounce of a Hunter’s tactical knowledge.
Adding verticality and many new vantage points, you can take to the high ground for long sightlines across sprawling vistas or venture into the Gulch’s deep mines to move through the tortured landscape with less exposure.
Investigate 16 unique compounds, passing through the torched towns, oil fields and mining operations as you face new threats emerging from the spreading corruption.
Optimized for Xbox Series X|S
Hunt: Showdown 1896 brings with it a complete overhaul of the console gameplay experience. With the power of Xbox Series X|S, experience every gruesome detail, every flicker of torchlight, every raging howl rendered in glorious high definition:
4K and 60 FPS on Xbox Series X:
2K and 60 FPS on Xbox Series S.
Full HDR Support
Beyond graphical improvements, reimagined the UI, and enhanced the audio and lighting to drag you deeper into the immersion of Hunt.
New Wild Target: Hellborn
As if the treacherous terrain wasn’t enough, a new Wild Target roams these cursed lands—the Hellborn.
An amalgam of fire and flesh, Hellborn stalks the mountains until provoked into explosive response. Posing an entirely new threat, the Hellborn moves frantically to unleash an unrelenting assault against trespassing Hunters, scorching everything in its considerable reach.
Be warned—the Hellborn is best dispatched quickly, as its raging howls attract the attention of other Hunters across the Gulch, multiplying the threat minute by minute.
Scorched Earth Event
With the launch of Hunt: Showdown 1896, we’re unleashing a new event, Scorched Earth.
Hunters are invited to face the fire to earn new equipment, ammo, and weapons, including the 1865 Carbine, the Infantry 73L base rifle with a sniper variant, Bear Traps as a new Tool, and a Crossbow Deadeye scoped variant.
We’re also welcoming a completely new Weekly Challenge system to better support players joining the action mid-event, as well as a Battle Pass full of both free and premium rewards are available to unlock.
A Word to the Wise
So, Hunters, the time has come. Strap on your gear, load your weapons, and steel your nerves. Mammon’s Gulch and all its atrocities await, filled with horrors that defy description and enemies that will stop at nothing to claim your bounty.
Hunt: Showdown 1896 is here, and it’s not just a launch – it’s a call to arms. Will you answer?
Hunt: Showdown 1896 is a new era of the addictively unforgiving extraction shooter. In corrupted backwaters lost to history, fight back alone – or with friends – against timeless evil. Twisted monsters and other ruthless Hunters stand between you and your Bounty. Risk everything as Hunt consumes you.
Bounty Hunt: Take rich bounties and kill anyone that tries to stop you – and they will try. Race competing Hunters to track down bosses, send them to hell, claim their bounty, and fight your way to extract. If others only slow you down, go alone. If you find strength in numbers, take up to two teammates along.
Progression and Permadeath: Risk everything to unlock dark powers and forbidden wealth. Every bullet counts. Every wound hurts. And every death is permanent. But if you succeed, every victory will be unforgettable.
Atmosphere and Sound Design: Hear footsteps squelch in the mud as you wait with bated breath to strike. The world speaks. Every gunshot is a message; every howling dog a klaxon. Gramophones murmur with the haunting melodies of Port Sulphur Band. Listen, and you might live to die another day.
Constantly Evolving Game: Keep striving for more, the world is always growing. Frequent updates challenge you with new Events, expand your arsenal of weapons, introduce new characters, and offer the chance to get ornate rewards. Join the thriving Hunt community, stay informed, and get an edge over the Corruption.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 makes a grand return to the series’ beloved Round-Based Zombies mode with two brand-new maps at launch, and we’ve been learning a lot about what’s in store for our latest bout with the undead.
Ahead of a live gameplay reveal of the upcoming Liberty Falls map at the Call of Duty NEXT event on August 28, the Black Ops 6 team has been teasing us with new information in Intel Drop videos over the past week for their other Zombies map coming at launch: Terminus, telling us more about the story, setting, and systems of the highly anticipated new Zombies experience. To find out everything we’ve learned so far, read on:
Story
Set in 1991, five years after the events of Black Ops Cold War’s own Zombies mode, Black Ops 6’s Zombies campaign begins with a prison breakout – previous heroes Weaver, Dr. Gray, and Carver form an uneasy alliance with new character Maya (who’s on a desperate hunt for her missing brother, and has allied with the villainous Dr. William Peck) and set out to escape the combined jail/research outpost, Terminus Island. Along the way, they’ll discover a lot more about the horrifying work that’s gone into creating this outbreak.
It’s not just a new story for Zombies, but includes new ways of telling that story. While the mode will still allow you to play as any Operator, playing as the four members of the dedicated Zombies crew will open up new in-game dialogue interactions, deepening the plot and revealing more about each character as you play.
Terminus
A remote island in the Philippine Sea, Terminus could have been a tropical paradise – if it hadn’t been used as clandestine location to house prisoners and use them for unethical science experiments. On one of the biggest maps ever made for Round-Based Zombies, players will begin their time on Terminus Island during an outbreak – it’s a chaotic, ruined location, stuffed with the shambling corpses of scientists, security guards, and experiment victims alike.
The team has gone all out to make this feel like a living (or unliving) location, with set pieces built across the island – from testing areas where zombies will break out of their chambers to attack, to seeing the evolutionary cycle of the zombies themselves. Players will even face off against the Amalgam, a grotesque mass of combined body parts that’ll provide a stern challenge.
The team also wanted to make use of the whole island; from the prison, to its jungles, to the beach, to the sea – you can go just about anywhere.
Equipment
You might be fighting against the odds in Terminus, but there are some new ways of evening those odds to find. Most notably, the new Beamsmasher Wonder Weapon offers a very fun way of thinning the hordes you come across. With three attacks to use (a devastating sonic beam attack, a wave-based secondary that slows enemies and has them take extra damage, and a shockwave effect when reloading after expending your ammo) it’s a versatile way to get through the horrors of the island.
A more passive way of surviving is the Tentacle Trap, which is placed over doorways. When activated, the Trap will scoop up any passing zombies with, well, tentacles, reducing them to a far less threatening pile of gore.
Terminus also sees the first ever drivable vehicle introduced in Round-Based Zombies, letting you commandeer a Tactical Raft and zip from island to island – but beware, the open sea might be even more dangerous than the land…
New Systems
As you’d expect, the new Zombies experience makes some key improvements to the winning formula fans are already familiar with. Augments are a major addition, allowing you to upgrade your Perks, Ammo Mods, and Field Upgrades in different ways. Augments come in Major and Minor forms, and you’re able to use one of each per item. A Minor Augment might offer a stat buff to an existing ability, like a more powerful Napalm Burst, while a Major Augment can drastically change how you play. With a Major Augment, you might be able to summon a set of damaging orbs that surround you and damage enemies that get too close.
GobbleGums make a return after last appearing in Black Ops III – each one a consumable item that offers gameplay changes and upgrades. Ahead of a match, you’ll be able to choose from a set of five GobbleGums and, once you find a GobbleGum machine in your match, it will dispense one of your chosen Gums, to be used whenever you like. The effects here can be huge – whole-team revives, temporary unlimited ammo, or unlocking every Perk at once, just as a few examples.
Weapon Builds also help you customize your Zombies experience. Before you enter a round, you can create your ideal build of weapon, including Blueprints, attachments, and more, before specifically designating it a Zombie Build. When in a game of Zombies, if you find that weapon at a Wallbuy or Mystery Box, it will be your build of that weapon you receive.
Fan-Requested Features
Black Ops 6 also brings some improvements that fans have been asking for. Several HUD Presets will allow players to tweak their onscreen experience – you could remove the mini-map if you prefer to play without it, change the location of your health bar, and generally offer exactly the information you need, where you need it. Enemy damage numbers and health bars can even be toggled as global settings in Zombies on day one.
In a major change for solo Zombies players, you’ll also now be able to save and quit your match, meaning you can take a break from a high-round all-nighter and continue the next day, rather than having to commit yourself to a multi-hour session in one go.
Liberty Falls
Terminus may be the starting point for this instalment’s Zombies story, but Black Ops 6 will launch with two Zombies maps – Liberty Falls is the next step. Set almost simultaneously with the events in Terminus, Liberty Falls is a small West Virginian town that becomes the epicenter of a new zombie outbreak. But you’ll have to wait to learn more about that, when the map gets a full reveal at Call of Duty NEXT on August 28…

The surviving S.E.E.S. gang faces a new challenge as they explore the mysterious abyss below Iwatodai Dorm.
Players will enjoy a familiar-yet-fresh experience, with new additions such as new ultimate attacks, animated cutscenes, and a new playable character.
Episode Aigis -The Answer- is part of Persona 3 Reload‘s Expansion Pass, available September 10 for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members as a Game Pass Perk.
This past February, Persona 3 Reload introduced a new generation of players to the first “modern” entry in the Persona series, going on to become the fastest selling game in Atlus’ nearly 40-year history. While P3R is a monster of an RPG (providing this writer over 90 hours of entertainment), what’s left for our heroes once they’ve vanquished Tartarus, ended the Dark Hour, and set things right at Gekkokuan High?
Sadness, mostly.
As Episode Aigis -The Answer-, Reload‘s remake of the epilogue from 2007’s Persona 3 FES, kicks off, the mood is decidedly downbeat. Sure, cultish nemesis Strega is gone, and Apathy Syndrome is abating across Tatsumi Port Island. But with Persona 3 Reload‘s main character falling in the final battle, and Iwatodai Dorm closing its doors for good, the vibes feel anything but victorious. At least things are back to normal, right? Right?
As the surviving S.E.E.S. gang hangs out one last time in the dorm, midnight strikes, there’s an earthquake, in bursts another Aigis-like android named Metis, and a giant hole appears in the floor of the dorm’s lobby leading downward. Stuck in a time loop and unable to leave the dorm, the gang has no choice but to explore the mysterious abyss which has appeared beneath the dorm.
While Mitsuru, Junpei, and the gang aren’t exactly thrilled to be thrust back into the center of a supernatural mystery, I couldn’t be more excited to sample the first hour of Episode Aigis -The Answer-, jumping back into a game that I’ve frankly missed since completing it this spring.
Picking the controller back up for more Persona 3 Reload was as familiar and comfortable as settling into my favorite spot on the couch – with one wrinkle. With our main character dearly departed, Aigis visits the Velvet Room, well known as the place only the heroes of Persona games seem to be able to visit. This also means that Aigis can now swap out personas in battle, just like the hero of the full game.
Unlike the endless staircase of Tartarus, there are clear pathways to choose from in the Abyss of Time; appearing as doors in the middle of a desert. Once inside, the moment-to-moment action plays out as you may remember: exploring labyrinths, exploiting enemy weaknesses, and triggering All Out Attacks; more of what people love about Persona.
As for what else is new, the mysterious Metis does join the team, leading to some fun battle banter – she’s a bit of a weirdo! I noted some new music tracks, joining those already imprinted in my brain. The first hour also offers tantalizing hints that Persona 3 Reload‘s main character may not be completely gone from this world. Regardless of how it plays out, Aigis always had main character energy, and we’re in for a fun ride as she takes the wheel for what promises to be a 30-hour epilogue adventure.
Step into the shoes of a transfer student thrust into an unexpected fate when entering the hour “hidden” between one day and the next. Awaken an incredible power and chase the mysteries of the Dark Hour, fight for your friends, and leave a mark on their memories forever.
Persona 3 Reload is a captivating reimagining of the genre-defining RPG, reborn for the modern era.
Key Features:
– Experience the pivotal game of the Persona series faithfully remade with cutting-edge graphics, modernized quality-of-life features, and signature stylish UI.
-Fully immerse yourself in an emotional, gripping journey with new scenes, character interactions, and additional voiceover.
– Choose how to meaningfully spend each day through various activities from exploring the Port Island to forging genuine bonds with beloved characters.
– Build and command your optimal team to take down otherworldly Shadows and climb closer to the truth.
When Green Helllaunched into Early Access in 2018, we here at Creepy Jar had high hopes for our debut title, but we never expected to hit the level of success we’ve seen up to now. Hot on the heels of selling over six million copies, we’re overjoyed to be bringing the Green Hell experience to the current generation of Xbox consoles, Xbox Series X|S.
Arriving as a free upgrade to anyone who owns the game on an Xbox One console, the updated version of Green Hell brings with it content that up until now has only been available to PC players. Harnessing the power of the Xbox Series X|S hardware, we’re able to deliver a more robust experience with dozens of improvements and new content that should satisfy both the biggest fans of the game and the new adventurers coming to our survival experience.
Xbox players can now jump into the latest updates for Green Hell including:
Update 17 – Storage & Transportation
As many of Green Hell’s most experienced players know, efficiency is of the utmost importance if you want to survive the perils of the Amazon. Every trip across the rainforest puts players in untold danger, so why make more trips than is needed? Make organizing and creating your ultimate home base of operations easier than ever with an Elevator, Sleds, new shelving options, and more. Survival still isn’t guaranteed, but at least your home will look organized while you get mauled by a Jaguar, should you meet your fate!
Update 18 – Fortifications
Introducing new fence types and additional constructions aimed at keeping your home safe and secure: fences, palisades, gates, and lookout platforms each add an extra layer of defense and strategy to a player’s base. Have you ever been annoyed that anyone can enter and even try to destroy your cherished base? Protect your camp like never before and fortify your defenses before the next attack on your home, sweet home.
Update 19 – Flamekeeper
Like a moth drawn to fire, so are the hordes of Green Hell’s dangerous enemies drawn to the Eternal Flame in the game’s 19th free update, Flamekeeper. Adding a hectic combat update alongside improved enemy AI, new enemy attacks, entirely new game mechanics, and a coveted new reward weapon, Flamekeeper is designed to challenge even the most experienced of Green Hell veterans.
We couldn’t be more proud of how far Green Hell has come, and in turn, we couldn’t be more excited to continue improving the game for all of our players on Xbox. Whether you’re jumping in as a new player or upgrading your experience from Xbox One, we’re sure you will have tons of fun with the new and exciting content we’ve prepared.
GREEN HELL is an Open World Survival Simulator set in the Amazonian rainforest. You are left in the jungle without any food or equipment, trying to survive and find your way out. On this journey, you won’t get any help from the outside world. Equipped only with your bare hands you’ll have to learn actual survival techniques to build shelters, make tools, and craft weapons in order to hunt and defend yourself. Constantly threatened by the jungle you’ll fight with both wild animals and tropical illnesses. You will strive to not only keep your life but also your sanity.
You can do it alone or with up to four friends in co-op play.
Green Hell contains the complete Spirits of Amazonia prequel (parts: 1, 2, 3) with over 20 hours of additional gameplay.
Now with extra content – the Animal Husbandry Update for free.
