Wargaming Launches Playtest for New Mech Shooter 'Steel Hunters'

The creators of World of Tanks unveil a free-to-play mech hero shooter blending battle royale, extraction, and tactical gameplay.

Steel Hunters is a new third-person mech shooter featuring duos-based PvPvE gameplay with a mix of battle royale and extraction mechanics.
Players control customizable 'Hunters,' mechanical giants fused with human consciousness, each with unique abilities and playstyles.
The game's core mode, Starfall Harvest, involves teams battling for resources, leveling up, and competing for a final extraction point or elimination victory.
A 10-day closed playtest is now live for PC players, offering seven Hunters, three maps, and matches lasting 8-15 minutes.
Built on Unreal Engine 5, Steel Hunters emphasizes tactical decision-making over reflexes, with destructible environments and a focus on team coordination.
