You read that right Ghosts and Hunters, 1.0 is right around the corner!
Following nearly 2 years in Early Access, we're thrilled to announce the official full release of Midnight Ghost Hunt 1.0 on March 21st, 2024 on both Steam and the Epic Games Store! The excitement is palpable as we unveil some truly AMAZING changes to accompany our 1.0 release. Let's dive right in!
✨ALL 10 maps FULLY REVAMPED✨
We've been tirelessly working behind the scenes, overhauling all the maps to ensure they reach their absolute best versions! Brace yourself for all new designs, new layouts, new lighting, strategic hiding spots, improved gameplay flows, and beyond! Get a sneak peek at the transformations with the before-and-after clips below! 👀
🔫WEAPON SKINS🔫
That’s right, Hunters now have their choice of weapon skins for all of the weapons, unlockable via Ghost Shards! Earning the “Master” achievement for a weapon will unlock the shiny new ✨golden✨skin for that weapon. Other skins can be acquired with Ghost Shards like other cosmetics.
🤖 ALL NEW BOT AI, Difficultly levels, Profile Pictures, and more!🤖
Both the Hunter and Ghost bots have gotten a MAJOR upgrade! Their revamped AI will employ improved strategies and navigation - and will make for indispensable allies or formidable foes!
Ever envisioned a Hunter bot equipped with a Radar following you on the hunt? Your wish is now a command away! Direct them to wield specific weapons or perks, or simply have them follow your lead.
They also now have 3 difficultly levels for you to choose from (easy, normal, hard), or leave them on auto to adjust to the average player level in the server!
But that's not all – these bots now exude more personality than ever with fresh names, skins, and profile pictures!
👻new ghost VISUALS👻
Our new and improved Ghost visuals enriches the appearance and aura of our spectral friends. From the default skin to the Krampus and everything in-between, our overhauled Ghost visuals are a significant upgrade.
🛠️NEW HUNTER WEAPON VFX🛠️
Spectral Cannon, Project X, Ghostsmasher, Grenade, and more all received new and improved visual effects for improved clarity! Generally, the effects are warmer colors so they contrast better against all the Ghost blue.
🚗NEW HUNTER VAN DESIGN🚗
The van's interior has been revamped for maximum comfort during those long nights of Ghost Hunting across all of the haunted maps! 👻
And so much more just waiting for you to discover on the hunt!
Thanks for reading, and for joining us on our early access journey! What started as an after-hours passion project has grown into what Midnight Ghost Hunt is today, and we couldn't have done it without you.
We are so very excited to release 1.0 on March 21st, 2024, and we can’t wait to see you on the hunt very, very soon! 🥳
