With the addition of these consoles, Sydney Hunter and the Curse of the Mayan is now available across all major video game platforms.
Sydney Hunter and the Curse of the Mayan on Xbox and PlayStation platforms include a hidden interactive feature to sleuth out and discover. If lucky, eagle-eyed players will unearth a hidden area and meet Yuki, a fun and familiar character from FX Unit Yuki: The Henshin Engine, as they traverse through the Mayan pyramid.

Players take on the role of supreme adventurer Sydney Hunter, a deft explorer who by sheer luck finds himself trapped inside a massive Mayan pyramid. He soon discovers that the “Feathered Serpent” Kukulkan has broken up the sacred Haab calendar into seven individual pieces and scattered them throughout the pyramid. With the support of the local Mayan population, Sydney Hunter must put the calendar back together and defeat Kukulkan to return peace and balance to the world. Two unique endings await players, depending on the decisions they make in the game.
