If you’ve been craving some robot action, today’s your lucky day. Steel Hunters has just landed in Early Access! It’s a free-to-play adventure that combines the thrills of extraction shooters with the intensity of battle royales. For fans of mecha, this could be your next adrenaline rush.
Developed by Wargaming—the masterminds behind World of Tanks, World of Warships, and World of Warplanes—Steel Hunters marks a bold shift from their usual themes. This game translates their knack for tactical warfare into a fresh, exciting setting.
Jumping into Early Access sees Steel Hunters offering seven unique “Hunters,” the game’s take on mechs, with plans to introduce another during this phase. Players can explore three diverse maps, enjoy a battle pass, and continue their progress even after the game’s full launch. So, if you’re eager to dive deep, now’s the perfect moment.
It’s a stellar season for enthusiasts of all things mechanical. Earlier this year, we saw the open beta of Mecha Break, which leaned more towards the nostalgic vibe of classic Gundam games. In contrast, Steel Hunters adopts a more grounded strategy in both gameplay and design.
