If you’ve been eagerly waiting for some robot-infused excitement, today’s your day! Steel Hunters has officially hit Early Access, and it’s free to dive into. This game mixes the best parts of extraction shooters with the adrenaline-packed world of battle royales, perfect for anyone who can’t get enough mecha action.
Wargaming, the brains behind Steel Hunters, is also responsible for the likes of World of Tanks, World of Warships, and World of Warplanes. With Steel Hunters, they’re branching out from their historical warfare comfort zone into a fresh arena of futuristic battles while maintaining the strategic depth they’re known for.
The Early Access launch comes with seven unique “Hunters”—the game’s answer to mechs—and promises more with a new addition during this period. Players can explore three distinct maps and enjoy a battle pass without worrying about any progress being wiped when the full version launches. So, for anyone itching to give it a go, there’s no time like the present.
It’s a great season for mecha enthusiasts. Earlier in the year, the open beta for Mecha Break offered a twist on the genre, harking back to the days of classic Gundam titles. In contrast, Steel Hunters opts for a more grounded tactical approach, both in gameplay and design.
