Predator: Hunting Grounds Is Adding The Missing Piece Of The Predator Puzzle: Arnie

Finally, I can GET TO DA CHOPPAA

If you have seen my Predator: Hunting Grounds review or even my first impressions video, you may have heard my gripes regarding the lack of memorable characters in it. Or more specifically, that the game has a distinct lack of Vitamin A: Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Super exciting news today however, from the mouth of Jared Gerritzen (Chief Creative Officer, Illfonic) that they are filling the Terminator-shaped hole in the game with none-other than the Commando himself!

Jared took time during his birthday to share that Hunting Grounds will be receiving a number of post-release updates, with each offering both free and paid content for all players – the first of which will add Arnie’s legendary Predator character, “Dutch” Schaeffer to the game.

Not only is it his likeness, but the big man himself has stepped up to deliver the voice acting for the character, providing a range of dialogues both in gameplay and audio logs to explain what Dutch did in his years following his initial predator encounter:

Jared took to the time to explain the scope of the DLC, saying:

In order to make Predator: Hunting Grounds the game we envisioned it to be, it had to include Dutch’s story and bringing him back into the universe. We have created two different items for the community in order to do this. The first is a free update, available for all players who own the game. Players will be able to learn where Dutch has been all these years and hear his story in his own words through a series of voice tapes that you earn as you level up.

The second is a Paid DLC pack where you can play as Dutch and get early access to the QR5 “Hammerhead” Rifle and Dutch’s Knife! (available free for all players later in June) Getting the future Dutch just right was so exciting for the entire team. Creating the details, working with our partners to make certain everything fit together perfectly in the universe, and of course working with the legend himself has been a dream come true. We cannot wait until you can get access to both the free update and the paid DLC on May 26!

Based off the revealed character art, showing some scars and what appears to be a predator mask being worn as a shoulder pad, Dutch has been busy dealing with more predators. Am I excited to get a pseudo-sequel to the original predator film? Hell yes I am.

Dutch will be here on May 26
