Steel Hunters, Wargaming’s upcoming free-to-play title, gears up for its Early Access launch on April 2. Set in a post-apocalyptic world where giant machines battle over precious resources, this game promises to deliver a thrilling experience for players eager to jump into the action.
Steel Hunters blends player-versus-player and player-versus-environment elements, offering a unique take on multiplayer gameplay. Players can pilot formidable mechs known as Hunters, designed to dominate the remnants of Earth while competing against others. With Wargaming’s commitment to community-driven development, this early phase will allow players to provide feedback that shapes the game’s final version.
“We want to build Steel Hunters with you,” Wargaming stated in its announcement. The developers are focused on creating a finely tuned experience and plan to move swiftly toward a full release once they gather input from players during Early Access. The intention is clear: refine gameplay mechanics and enhance player satisfaction.
The initial release will provide a polished foundation that includes essential gameplay features, maps, and progression systems. Interestingly, monetization won’t be introduced immediately; instead, the focus will remain solely on gameplay refinement during Early Access. This thoughtful approach allows players to immerse themselves fully without worrying about microtransactions at launch.
About Steel Hunters
Description
After a cataclysmic event, Hunters were created by mankind to safeguard the collection of an extraterrestrial resource crucial to human survival, known as Starfall. Driven by ruthless factions, these fearsome mechanical giants have now become the key to dominate the scarce resource across the ruins of a green but abandoned Earth.
Key Features
Master Mechanical Giants – Discover multiple Hunter playstyles and their destructive weapons, gear, mods, and abilities. Unleash raw power and obliterate your rivals.
Achieve Duo Symbiosis – Elevate your teamwork in the hunting grounds. Mastering your Hunters’ unique abilities will keep you alive, but it’s only by displaying perfect team synergy that you’ll secure a victorious extraction.
Tactics Over Reflexes – Quick reflexes alone won’t cut it. Instead, sound tactics will carve your path to extract with Starfall. Will you charge headfirst through other teams or exploit the terrain to outmaneuver them? Every hunt matters.
Customize Your Hunter – Each Hunter favors a distinct playstyle and has a unique progression system, making them a true menace in battle. Collect boosters and gear to gain an advantage in combat against your rivals.
Leave a Trail of Destruction – Take control of an unstoppable machine. Smash through buildings to ambush your rivals or use structures as cover until they collapse under enemy fire.
Dynamic Player-Versus-Player-Versus-Environment Fights – Traverse the land to pursue dynamic objectives with multiple player-versus-environment encounters. Remember that when you’re not hunting, you’re being hunted.
