Every Hunter’s Genesis is sparked by a moment of hope for humanity. Beneath the armor, each Hunter still carries the essence of its former self—flesh and blood transformed into steel and fire.
Meet Razorside, one of the Hunters
Standing 8.2 meters tall and weighing 55 tons, Razorside is a relentless war machine, heavily armed and built for battle. One of the deadliest Hunters on the battlefield, he is the embodiment of precision and firepower.
Once, he was Jason Miller Jr., a decorated U.S. Marine who led countless missions to aid the survivors of the apocalyptic May Day Omega. But fate had other plans. Captured by corporate forces and chosen for his rare biological attributes, Miller underwent the Hunter Genesis—a brutal transformation that fused his mind and will into the metal frame of a Hunter.
Now, as Razorside, he fights with the instincts of a soldier and the power of a war machine. His mission continues, but the battlefield has changed.
Players can look forward to more Hunter Stories, which will shed light on each Hunter’s journey before they became fearsome combat machines fighting for survival in the Hunting Grounds.
