Last month, Epic Games’ battle royale Fortnite added cosmetics based on Predator, the classic 1987 sci-fi film that spawned an ongoing franchise. However, that has not been the only video game where fans can take command over one of the universe’s deadliest hunters. Illfonic’s asymmetrical title Predator: Hunting Grounds has been around since early 2020, and just today it announced its latest DLC expansion.
The game has received seven hybrid free and paid DLC expansions throughout its life thus far, the most recent set adding NFL running back Marshawn Lynch into Predator: Hunting Grounds last December. Prior DLC has included characters such as Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Dutch from the original film, but the eighth set gives the Predator a new look that Illfonic lead gameplay engineer Lucas Pederson told PlayStation Blog is inspired by Norse mythology.
Valkyrie Predator is available as part of the paid DLC, and is described as a “hit and run character” with a two-handed Norse Hammer that is “Predator’s interpretation of Odin’s vision for superior god-like weaponry,” according to Pederson. However, the free update released alongside this adds Custom Private matches to Predator: Hunting Grounds, which allows players to tweak stats for different matches and also use fun modifiers reminiscent of old cheat codes. For example, there is a “Big Head Mode” and a “Floor is Lava” mode that kills Predator if they touch the ground.
Pederson outlines more things for fans to look forward to, such as more customizable Field Lockers, and said there is a sneak peek of the next Predator class drop hidden in the game’s Dutch tapes. The new custom game modes and Valkyrie Predator, fitting a pattern of Norse-related content in titles like Dying Light, should give fans plenty to do while they wait for more content to arrive.
Predator: Hunting Grounds is available now on PC and PlayStation 4.
