Good Fun Devs Announce Hunger, a Bloodborne-Inspired Extraction Shooter

Hunger launches in early access on Steam on December 3, 2026, shifting its developers away from large-scale military simulations toward a dark fantasy extraction shooter.

Good Fun Corporation developed the project under the direction of Max Rea, who previously founded Black Matter and led the tactical shooter Hell Let Loose, 3DJuegos reported. The new title abandons twentieth-century warfare for a plague-ravaged Napoleonic Europe inspired by Bloodborne.

The extraction shooter supports solo play and squads of up to three players in PvPvE environments. Unlike games such as ARC Raiders and Marathon, Hunger avoids forced wipes of player progress. While participants lose gear upon death during an expedition, character experience and advancement remain permanent.

Progression stretches from level 1 to level 100, incorporating reputation systems and five mastery trees that unlock more than 100 abilities. Six playable characters feature unique passive, tactical, and definitive skills, ranging from stealth specialists who muffle footsteps to support profiles focused on healing and armor repair. The gameplay loop also includes puzzles, narrative-driven missions, and dungeon exploration.

A shared social hub named the Chateau serves as a base of operations for accepting quests, trading, and meeting other survivors. Players can also utilize a profession system to craft weapons and medicines for personal use or for sale in a player-managed marketplace.

Early access will open with three large maps, over 40 weapons, dungeons, boss encounters, and late-game PvP and PvE activities. Good Fun Corporation estimates the game will remain in early access for roughly two years to introduce new regions, playable characters, enemies, and weaponry.

An open beta is scheduled to run from November 27 to November 29, 2026, requiring interested players to request access through the game’s Steam page. The studio describes this test as the first and only open beta prior to release, following closed trials that drew positive responses. Developer figures indicate the game has already accumulated more than 700,000 wishlists on Valve’s storefront.
