At The Game Awards 2024, Wargaming, a well-known developer and publisher of online games such as World of Tanks and World of Warships, presented its new original game Steel Hunters, a free-to-play mech shooter that combines the mechanics of battle royale and Extraction mode.
Here's What We Know
In Steel Hunters, players control powerful mechanical giants known as Hunters and take part in dynamic battles, completing various tasks, leveling up and getting new equipment. Each Hunter has its own unique playstyle and abilities, allowing you to use different tactics to achieve victory.
The game takes place in a futuristic world where humanity is fighting for survival after a disaster. Hunters were created to protect the rare resource Starfall, and they are used in the struggle for control of this resource in the abandoned territories.

Key features:
- A new take on Battle Royale and Extraction - The game combines the mechanics of Hero shooters, Battle Royale and Extraction. Players engage in battles with a unique Hunter in a PvPvE arena, pursuing various objectives to level up and acquire equipment. It all culminates in a final battle at the extraction point.
- Master iconic mechanical giants - The fun of Steel Hunters is learning and mastering the different Hunters, and using their ability sets and progression systems in the most effective way possible.
- Tactics over reflexes - Unlike more traditional shooters, it's not just about having a quick reaction time, but also understanding your strengths, weaknesses, abilities, recovery time and synergies. Maps allow you to make meaningful tactical choices and offer opportunities to outflank the enemy or ambush them.
- Duo symbiosis - cooperation is crucial to achieving victory. Whether you're playing with a friend or another Hunter, combining tactics and abilities with your duo partner is what will make the difference in the Hunting Grounds.
- Amazing prize-winning gameplay - Built on the Unreal Engine 5, the game immerses the player in a very realistic world and provides an imaginary world of power through impressive combat mechanics. This enhances the destructible environments on the map and also allows for more tactical gameplay.
- High level of customisation - Players can customise their Hunters with a variety of build options, allowing them to create unique equipment combinations. In addition, collectibles and cosmetic items give players the opportunity to express their own style and personality.
Now we are looking forward to the release in 2025, first on PC, and then on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series.
