If you’ve been itching to dive into some thrilling mech action, you’re in for a treat today. Steel Hunters has officially entered the Early Access scene! This free-to-play game masterfully combines elements of extraction shooters and battle royales, perfect for those who can’t get enough of giant robots and high-stakes action.
Developed by the talented team at Wargaming, known for their work on World of Tanks, World of Warships, and World of Warplanes, Steel Hunters marks a bold new direction for the company. Unlike their usual historical settings, this game plunges you into a futuristic battleground where tactical warfare takes on a whole new dimension.
With the Early Access launch, you’ll have a roster of seven unique Hunters at your disposal, each one your trusty mech companion. And there’s more on the horizon: during the Early Access period, a new Hunter will join the fray. The game currently boasts three diverse maps to explore, and there’s a battle pass that keeps the rewards coming. Plus, any progress you make now will carry over once the game is officially launched, so there’s no better time than now to jump in.
This year seems to be shaping up nicely for fans of all things robotic. We saw the open beta for Mecha Break not too long ago, offering a new spin reminiscent of classic Gundam experiences. In contrast, Steel Hunters brings a more grounded and tactical approach, both in gameplay and design.
If you think this might be up your alley, don’t hesitate to give Steel Hunters a whirl! It’s ready for you to explore on PC. We’d love to hear your thoughts, so feel free to share your experiences with us in the comments below!
