Illfonic have released a new paid DLC update for Predator: Hunting Grounds which let's players take on the role of the Emissary Predators! These Human-allied Yautja were once a prominent part of the plotline for Shane Black's The Predator from back in 2018 but their screentime was unfortunately cut from the film's release. Now, fans can relive what once almost was and adorn the Emissary Predator armor in Predator: Hunting Grounds!



This Yautja chose to remain hidden and watch the modern human warriors, studying their tech and practices over the years. Gradually, this Predator stole and constructed armor and gear similar to that of a modern military combatant. With a slight resemblance, this Predator found he was able to elicit additional confusion and fear from human warriors perplexed with his unique but familiar armor.
