Is unfortunately only the code name of the tutorial as confirmed by a dev.
New update, new mode.

They like sticking to Lore for the most part so it would either be 3vX or nothing Preds only hunt solo or in groups of 3 unless its a clan war

New mode would be cool if it was last Man standing (or some kind of cool 1v1) hunt 4v4v2 or 12v3 or xeno hunt or predator(s) vs predator (s)

i was unaware of this.
It was a couple weeks ago when it first got data mined, there was mad speculation and I think he was trying to keep expectations in check.
There has been some Last Man Standing stuff found but we don’t know what it pertains too.

Let’s see here, I think it’s too soon for Xeno mode, that will have to wait till later (maybe Halloween), it also feels like the balance would be too far off in a 3 v whatever.
It is distinct possibility that it is a Last Man Standing (LMS) 1v1 but that won’t actually help que times even if it is a separate mode. It will either keep them the same or hurt them as it occupies a portion of the player base. It could be that LMS is a set of modifications to the end of a Hunt match similar to the Endgame in Dbd.
I personally want to hunt animals and aliens for trophies but it will likely take quite a few months to build models and behaviour profiles for them, so I think that’s out too unless it launches with a single type of prey.
I also think it might be to soon for challenges but they are a distinct possibility as illfonic has experience with them and they could have been working on them prelaunch. There’s assets that could be used, semi distinct NPC models like the guy in the beret, objectives that would fit with FT stealth missions.
An endless wave mode is fairly simple to make, so it gets points for that. I just think if illfonic were to make one it wouldn’t be that simple, they’d try adding some goal or additional challenge to it. Possibly even story scenes. So I think that will take more time than they’ve likely had.
So with all that said, right now I think I’m leaning toward some form of competitive Hunt between two Predators. Either a 2 v 4 with a respawn mechanic for the FT members, maybe a set number of lives 25 or so, or 2 v 6 (maybe 8).
It could also be done, and I’d really like this, as a hiding type mode, where the FT players need to arm themselves while avoiding the Predators. Think of that Spy Party game where one person is a sniper and they have to pick the other player out of a room full of NPC’s, you only get one shot. A Pred mode like this would likely place the objective on the Pred’s side, break in to the base and steal back your tech while also claiming FT players. They’re goal is to stop you but there could be multiple things to guard and the Predator getting them provides them weapons. So the objectives could be, grab a shoulder caster, combi stick and Smart disc. Escape or kill the FT. We flip the script, FT needs to gather weapons and set up defences.
I’d like an off-line mode. I hate waiting. I don’t care if the FT bots are good or not, I just want to paly whenever I want.

This is the biggest issue I have with the game currently. I can’t even play the part of the game that actually feels fun :( not without waiting at least

My expectations for this update. Skins, a single bug fix that creates a new bug. That is all.
