The Sound of Hunt: Showdown Returns
The haunting world of Hunt: Showdown 1896 comes alive once again with Port Sulphur Band’s highly anticipated fourth album, Shadows Wake — arriving December 12th, 2025, exclusively on the IGN Store.
This double LP, pressed on transparent red splatter vinyl, features 20 brand-new dark western tracks that expand the gritty, supernatural lore of Hunt: Showdown. Each vinyl edition comes housed in a gatefold jacket, with exclusive IGN cover art and two collectible posters, limited to just 1,000 copies worldwide.
Mastered for vinyl by Christian Bethge, Shadows Wake is built for both audiophiles and fans who crave the atmospheric tension that defines the Hunt: Showdown universe.
From the Bayou to the Turntable: The Story of Port Sulphur Band
Formed in the muds of the Lawson Delta bayou, Port Sulphur Band walks the line between fiction and reality. Originally created by developers at Crytek as part of Hunt: Showdown’s immersive storytelling, the band has evolved into a cult phenomenon, fusing haunting southern blues, gothic folk, and dark Americana.
Since their debut in 2019, the band has racked up over 88 million streams across three albums. Their vinyl releases — The Devil’s Fee and Shadows Calling — even charted in Germany’s Top 100, a first for any video game soundtrack.
With live performances from Paris to Las Vegas and the 2024 release of their Rise Up Dead Man music video, Port Sulphur Band continues to blur the lines between the digital and the real world.
“Shadows Wake” – Tales from a Dark Frontier
Shadows Wake takes listeners deeper into the cursed swamps and burning frontiers of Hunt: Showdown. Each track tells a story of betrayal, brutality, and survival amid the spreading Corruption.
Highlights include:
-
“Web of the Empress” – the chilling tale of a woman buried alive and resurrected by a swarm of corrupted spiders.
-
“Beneath the Apple Tree” – a mournful ballad of lost innocence and grim redemption.
-
“Curtain Call” – a deranged circus march that descends into madness.
With raw emotion, eerie instrumentation, and cinematic soundscapes, Shadows Wake is Port Sulphur Band at their most evocative yet.
