Hunt: Showdown 1896 – Post Malone's Murder Circus

Post Malone's Murder Circus invites players into a nightmarish world where a once-traveling carnival has been transformed by a mysterious artifact known as the HelioStone. Post Malone, who plays the role of the vengeance-driven Deposed King, the former Ringmaster, brings his unique creative vision to the game's gritty historical landscapes marred by Corruption. Driven out by the HelioStone's power, Post shadowed the Circus across the continent, vowing to destroy HelioStone. Every time it manifests, he does his best to tear it down to the ground. Sometimes, he recruits others – bounty hunters, desperadoes, and suchlike – to do it. Sometimes, he takes on the task himself. But always, the HelioStone eludes him, and so the chase continues.

Post Malone's Murder Circus also features a new Monster – orphaned bear cubs, turned unnatural beast, Ursa Mortis. With deformed bodies and minds, twisted into savage hunger by the HelioStone, the monstrous bear that stalks the Circus grounds and will charge at Hunters and attack with a lethal roar. The collaboration introduces a series of themed hunter skins, weapon variants, enemies, and more. Players are invited to experience a surreal, carnival-inspired aesthetic that combines the game's gritty historical setting and extraction shooter mechanics with the artist's signature style.
