Excited for Robot Action? Steel Hunters Enters Early Access Today

If you’ve been itching for some high-octane robot action, today could be your day. Steel Hunters has just rolled out into Early Access! Combining the intensity of extraction shooters with the chaotic thrill of battle royales, this free-to-play title is set to deliver the adrenaline rush that every mecha enthusiast craves.

Steel Hunters comes from the creative minds at Wargaming, the team that brought you World of Tanks, World of Warships, and World of Warplanes. This new venture is a departure from their usual fare, offering a fresh take on tactical warfare by steering into an exciting new niche.

The Early Access launch introduces players to seven Hunters—the game’s term for its distinctive mechs—with a promise of more to come as the Early Access period progresses. You also get to explore three unique maps, and, as expected, there’s a battle pass ready to go. Best of all, any progress you make now will carry over when the game officially releases, so if you’re thinking about diving in, now’s the time to do it.

It’s quite the moment for fans of the mechanical marvels. Earlier this year, we got to experience the open beta for Mecha Break, offering a more traditional mecha gameplay vibe reminiscent of the classic Gundam series. Steel Hunters, on the other hand, opts for a more grounded approach, both in its tactical gameplay and design aesthetic.

Does this sound like it’s up your alley? If you’ve got that itch for mecha action, Steel Hunters is ready for you to download and play on PC right now. We’d love to hear your thoughts, so feel free to drop a comment below!
