Steel Hunters Early Access
The Steel Hunters’ early access is now live on the Steam store! Wargaming decided they were going to release the game early to the players while the game was still in development. This is to ensure that the players know they are at the heart of Wargaming’s decisions when it comes to developing Steel Hunters.
“We want Steel Hunters to embody a player-first philosophy. Early Access allows us to collaborate closely with our community, iterating based on your feedback to refine the game until its full release. Together, we want to ensure the most polished and stable battle experience.”
This quote from the developers adds a touch of class to what is already expected to be a fantastic game. When the developers have that level of care to incorporate their players, you just know they’re going to do whatever it takes to ensure Steel Hunters is an excellent game. The game will face stiff competition, with MECHA Break also being the other big Mecha game on the horizon.
How to join Steel Hunters Early Access
