How it plays
Teams of up to three track clues to a boss, banish it and try to escape with the bounty while other teams close in.
Sound gives you away, so the game rewards whispering, patience and planning more than fast aim.
A death can cost a hunter you spent time levelling, which makes every match tense.
Each player needs a copy.
PlayStation and Xbox players can team up, but PC players cannot join console players.
