The Hunter’s Journey: Narrative Design for Live Games

October 9, 2022

Since 2018, Hunt: Showdown has impacted the Battle Royale genre. This is thanks to not only exciting mechanics but lore that piques the curiosity of its player base. For four years stories have been shared with players that have helped enrich 1890’s Louisiana, however, this hasn’t been without its challenges. In this talk, members of the narrative team for Hunt will explain how they navigate the challenges of narrative design for a live game so players can engage with the bayou on a deeper level.
