Multiplayer Predator video game coming to PS4 in 2020

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

Video game developer IllFonic was assembled with the intention of creating video games inspired by movies that its members were fans of. Recently the company teamed with Gun Media to create Friday the 13th: The Game, and now they're working with Sony Interactive Entertainment and Fox to create an asymmetrical multiplayer game inspired by the PREDATOR franchise.

When playing Predator: Hunting Grounds, 

one group of players will control members of an elite Fireteam: who pack state-of-the-art conventional firepower, from shotguns and SMGs to sniper rifles and more. One player will control the Predator: a stealthy, acrobatic killing machine bristling with exotic alien technology such as the infamous Plasmacaster.

As the Fireteam attempt to carry out paramilitary missions – annihilating bad guys and recovering important items – the Predator will be closing in, using its advanced vision mode to track and ambush its prey.

So it sounds sort of like Friday the 13th: The Game, but instead of playing as counselors who are trying to fix cars and make phone calls, the players who aren't the killer in this game will be blasting their way through other bad guys while the Predator hunts them. That's pretty awesome, and is reminiscent of the action sequence that precedes the Predator attacks in the first PREDATOR movie.

Predator: Hunting Grounds will be coming to PlayStation 4 in 2020.
