Are you craving some robot action? Today could be your day as Steel Hunters has just entered Early Access! This free-to-play game masterfully combines elements of extraction shooters with the thrill of battle royales, promising an adrenaline-packed experience for all you mecha enthusiasts out there.
Developed by Wargaming—the creative minds behind popular titles like World of Tanks, World of Warships, and World of Warplanes—Steel Hunters represents a bold new direction. They’ve brilliantly translated their grasp of tactical warfare into a fresh, unique genre, offering something truly different from their usual fare.
As the game launches into Early Access, players are introduced to seven unique Hunters, Steel Hunters’ take on mechs. Expect an eighth to roll out as the Early Access phase progresses. With three diverse maps to explore, a battle pass already in play, and the promise that your progress won’t be wiped out with the full launch, now is the opportune moment to dive in and get a head start.
This year really is shaping up to be a treat for fans of robotics. Remember the open beta for Mecha Break that debuted earlier? It offered a nostalgic nod to classic Gundam titles. In contrast, Steel Hunters is striking a different chord, opting for a more realistic, gritty approach both in gameplay and design.
So, if you think this game might be up your alley, don’t hesitate to jump in and give it a go! Steel Hunters is available right now on PC. We’re eager to hear your thoughts, so feel free to share your experiences with us in the comments below!
