If you’ve been itching for some epic robot battles, today just might be your lucky day. Steel Hunters has officially hit Early Access! This game combines the thrill of an extraction shooter with the excitement of a battle royale, promising a rush for all you mecha enthusiasts out there.
Developed by Wargaming, the makers of World of Tanks, World of Warships, and World of Warplanes, Steel Hunters marks a bold step into new territory for the company. While it still focuses on strategic warfare, this game ventures into a brand-new niche, offering a fresh spin on Wargaming’s usual fare.
The Early Access launch of the game introduces us to seven Hunters—Steel Hunters’ own version of mechs. And hold onto your helmets because a brand-new Hunter is set to join the fray during the Early Access period. You’ll have three unique maps to explore, a battle pass to navigate, and the bonus of no resets on your progress when the game officially launches. So, if you’re considering jumping in, there’s no better time than now.
It really is a fantastic moment for fans of all things mechanical. Just earlier this year, we had the open beta for Mecha Break, which approached mecha gameplay in a way that harkens back to the classic feel of Gundam games. On the other hand, Steel Hunters takes a more grounded and realistic approach, both in its gameplay and design.
If this sounds like your kind of game, why not give it a go? Steel Hunters is readily available on PC. Dive in and let us know your thoughts in the comments!
