Steel Hunters is here! Wargaming, known for World of Tanks and World of Warships, is launching a free-to-play mech-hero shooter that combines battle royale with extraction elements. The game launches on April 2, 2025 in Early Access – and you can be there! Are you ready? All the info is here.
A post-apocalyptic world of steel and strategy
In Steel Hunters, you take control of massive mechs – known as Hunters – to prove yourself in action-packed PvPvE battles. The world is dark, dangerous and full of rival teams fighting over a valuable resource called Starfall. But be careful: in addition to other players, AI-controlled enemies are lurking on the map to make life difficult for you. Every mission is a strategic tightrope walk between attack and retreat.
Gameplay: Battle Royale meets Extraction – with epic mechs!
Each match starts with six teams of two battling each other on the maps Crimson Ridge, Maryland Heights and Stonecutter Keep. Your goal? Secure resources, eliminate enemies and survive the extraction! Steel Hunters offers a variety of play styles:
- Customizable Mechs: From Razorside to Heartbreaker to Ursus – every Hunter has unique abilities and special weapons.
- Dynamic Battles:Whether you’re controlling a stealthy mech, heavily armored brawler or nimble assault unit, strategy is key here.
- Zerstörbare Umgebungen: Gebäude stürzen ein, Deckung gibt es keinen sicheren – jede Entscheidung kann das Blatt wenden.

The Early Access follows the “Player First” philosophy: Wargaming deliberately relies on community feedback to further develop the game. So your input could be crucial! There’s also a brand new trailer offering a first look at the chaos, action and impressive mech designs:
