If you’ve got a craving for some intense robot action, you’re in luck! Steel Hunters has kicked off its Early Access phase today. This free-to-play game is a unique mix of extraction shooter mechanics and battle royale excitement, perfect for those who are captivated by the mechanical world.
Crafted by Wargaming, the creative minds behind hits like World of Tanks, World of Warships, and World of Warplanes, Steel Hunters marks a bold shift from their usual landscape. The game brings the same kind of strategic warfare to a fresh and intriguing setting.
With the Early Access launch, players get to experience seven different Hunters—this game’s version of mechas—with promises of a new Hunter during this period. You’ll also explore three distinct maps, and of course, there’s a battle pass. And here’s a bonus: any progress you make now will carry over when the game officially launches, so it’s an ideal moment to dive in.
It’s certainly an exciting era for fans of robotics. Earlier this year, we saw the open beta for Mecha Break, which offered a different take on mecha games, akin to classic Gundam vibes. Steel Hunters, on the other hand, opts for a more grounded approach, both in terms of gameplay and design.
If this game piques your interest, why not give it a whirl? Steel Hunters is available now on PC. We’re eager to hear your thoughts in the comments below!
