If you’ve been itching to dive into some mecha mayhem, today might just bring the excitement you’ve been waiting for. Steel Hunters has just opened its doors to Early Access! This free-to-play game skillfully mixes the elements of extraction shooters with the pulse-pounding action of battle royales, perfect for those who live and breathe mechs.
Steel Hunters springs from the creative minds at Wargaming, the developers famous for hits like World of Tanks, World of Warships, and World of Warplanes. While the game marks a shift from their usual themes, it retains the tactical warfare essence that players adore, set in a fresh and thrilling environment.
As you jump into the Early Access version, you’ll find seven Hunters—this game’s take on mechs—ready for action, with more additions planned during the Early Access phase. You can explore three unique maps and participate in a battle pass, with the assurance that your progress won’t be reset when the full game launches. If you’ve been pondering when to try it out, this might be your perfect chance!
Fans of robotic combat are experiencing a thrilling era. Earlier this year, Mecha Break entered its open beta phase, offering a nostalgic nod to classic Gundam games. Meanwhile, Steel Hunters presents a more tactical, deliberate approach both in terms of gameplay and design.
