If you’ve been craving some electrifying robot action, today could be your lucky break. Steel Hunters has just made its debut in Early Access! This free-to-play game is an exciting blend of extraction shooter elements with the intensity of battle royales. It’s designed to deliver that adrenaline rush to those who can’t get enough of the mecha genre.
Developed by Wargaming—the masterminds behind popular titles like World of Tanks, World of Warships, and World of Warplanes—Steel Hunters takes a bold leap from their usual settings. While it continues to embrace the tactical warfare style they’re known for, it ventures into an exciting new niche with its futuristic spin.
With the launch of its Early Access version, Steel Hunters brings players seven unique Hunters, essentially its take on mechs, with a promise of a fresh one arriving during this period. The game features three unique maps, a battle pass to keep things interesting, and importantly, no progress will be wiped out when it officially releases. If diving into this world appeals to you, there’s no better moment than now to engage.
This year has been quite the treat for fans of robot-centric experiences. Not too long ago, we saw the arrival of the open beta for Mecha Break, offering a different flavor of mecha gameplay reminiscent of classic Gundam games. Steel Hunters, however, opts for a more grounded strategy, in both its gameplay dynamics and its design philosophy.
If Steel Hunters sounds like your cup of tea, it’s ready for you to explore on PC right now. Don’t hesitate to dive in and share your thoughts with us in the comments below!
