As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I must admit that the announcement of Wargaming’s new title, Steel Hunters, has truly piqued my interest. Having spent countless hours honing my skills in World of Tanks and World of Warships, I can’t help but feel a sense of anticipation for this fresh IP.
It appears that Wargaming, recognized for its World of Tanks and World of Warships series, aims to expand its list of renowned titles with Steel Hunters. At The Game Awards 2024, this new game was unveiled by the company. Steel Hunters, their latest intellectual property, is a free-to-play multiplayer game that combines aspects of hero shooters, battle royales, and extraction games, focusing on mech combat.
In the game Steel Hunters, players don’t control pilots operating mechanical suits; instead, the suits, called Hunters, are imbued with souls for combat in the celestial event known as Starfall. A tragic occurrence has nearly wiped out humanity and left survivors struggling to endure, their fate hinging on a precious alien resource called Starfall. This elusive substance is strewn across the shattered Earth, and megacorporations and other factions deploy Hunters in a war against each other for control of this valuable resource.
In Steel Hunters, Wargaming has crafted a unique take on the hero shooter genre where each character, or Hunter, has its own unique style of play, abilities, and growth mechanics. Victory can be achieved by successfully extracting valuable resources while leaving opponents empty-handed, or by outlasting and eliminating all other Hunters on the map. The gameplay incorporates elements from popular battle royale and extraction games, making it a standout in the hero shooter category. Unlike traditional shooters that require lightning-fast reflexes, Steel Hunters focuses more on strategic team composition and understanding individual Hunter abilities, rather than just raw speed and aim.

A crucial aspect of that is Duo Symbiosis, where players are able to combine tactics and abilities with another Hunter. In general, each Hunter’s build and tactics can be customized with unique gear combinations (and of course collectibles and cosmetics) to bring out unique strategies when facing other Hunters in the Hunting Grounds. While it remains to be seen how customization works, from a gameplay and cosmetic perspective, the designs of each Mech open a lot of doors. These Mechs aren’t just humanoids, like Heartbreaker or Trenchwalker, but some borrow elements of animal design, like Ursus and Fenris.
Before we know when players can fully explore The Hunting Grounds in Steel Hunters, some enthusiasts will get an early peek at the game’s features. Starting soon, Steel Hunters is organizing a 10-day closed playtest on PC, with further updates expected throughout 2025.
