Developer Wargaming has announced a new game with a trailer during The Game Awards. Dubbed Steel Hunters, the title is an entirely new IP for the studio, leaving behind tanks and ships for more sci-fi elements: mechs. Check out the trailer below.
Steel Hunters will be an online multiplayer title that blends mechanics from various genres, including battle royale and extraction shooters. Players pilot gigantic mechs, each of which has its own play style, progression system, and unique kit.
Players can take on various objectives to try and get new gear that they can then use in future matches against their opponents. The extraction shooter mechanics will have players not only fight each other, but also AI-controlled enemies to try and get their hands on loot.
While Steel Hunters doesn’t yet have a release date, Wargaming has kicked off a closed playtest for PC players. More details on the playtest are available on the game’s official website.
