If you’ve been craving some high-octane robot action, today might just be your lucky day. Steel Hunters has officially launched in Early Access! This free-to-play game combines the adrenaline rush of an extraction shooter with the competitive edge of battle royales. If you’re a fan of all things mecha, Steel Hunters is your ticket to an exhilarating experience.
The brains behind Steel Hunters are none other than the developers at Wargaming, famous for titles like World of Tanks, World of Warships, and World of Warplanes. This game takes a bold leap from their usual themes, introducing the same tactical warfare vibes to a fresh, new frontier.
With its Early Access debut, Steel Hunters rolls out seven unique “Hunters,” which are their take on mechs. Even better, another Hunter is expected to join the fray during this early phase. The game boasts three varied maps, and of course, features a battle pass system. Here’s the kicker: your progress isn’t going to be wiped clean when the full game is released. So, if you’re itching to dive in, now is definitely the prime time.
It’s a fantastic era for aficionados of robotic warfare. Earlier this year, we were treated to the open beta of Mecha Break, which brought a nostalgic wave of classic Gundam-like gameplay. Meanwhile, Steel Hunters is grounding itself both in design and strategy, charting a different path altogether.
If all of this sparks your interest, why not jump in? Steel Hunters is available right now on PC. Give it a whirl and share your thoughts with us in the comments below!
