If you’ve been itching for some mecha mayhem, today could be your golden opportunity. Steel Hunters has just made its grand entrance into Early Access! This game is free-to-play and cleverly combines the intensity of extraction shooters with the thrill of battle royales. It’s bound to deliver that rush of excitement for those of you who live for the world of robots.
Steel Hunters is the brainchild of Wargaming, the masterminds behind hits like World of Tanks, World of Warships, and World of Warplanes. Venturing away from their usual historical warfare, Wargaming is now bringing its tactical prowess into this fresh, futuristic territory.
With its Early Access debut, Steel Hunters introduces you to seven unique Hunters, which are essentially this game’s cool version of mechs. And there’s more to come—expect another Hunter to be released during this phase. The game also features three distinct maps, a battle pass to keep you busy, and rest assured, all your progress will be safe and sound even when the game fully launches. So, if you’re on the fence, there’s no better moment to dive in.
This is turning out to be a fantastic year for fans of all things robotic. Just earlier, Mecha Break’s open beta showed us a fresh take on mecha games, drawing inspiration from the beloved Gundam classics. Steel Hunters, meanwhile, opts for a more grounded approach, both literally and in its design.
