Carnival Hunt release countdown: Exact date and time
Carnival Hunt, developed by Crytivo and Bear Knight Studio, arrives on PC tomorrow as an asymmetrical multiplayer horror experience. The game pits five players attempting to escape a warped carnival against a single opposing player controlling the environment, with coordinated gameplay and survival at its core.
Successful escape depends on teams working together to complete objectives and locate keys that unlock progression, whilst the solo monster player uses special abilities to track, separate, and prevent the group from succeeding. Both sides vie for control of limited key resources, with stealth, prediction, and tactical teamwork determining whether the escape artists or the hunter achieves their goal.
- Carnival Hunt launches July 23, 2026 at 3pm UTC (8am PT to 5pm CEST in regional zones)
- Asymmetrical 5v1 horror multiplayer where five players cooperate to escape a twisted carnival whilst one player hunts them
- Gameplay centres on teamwork, resource management via limited keys, stealth positioning, and strategic decision-making between both sides
