Are you craving more robot action after playing Titanfall and Armored Core 6? Well, look no further because the open beta for Mecha Break, an online shooter, is here to satisfy your mechanical desires.
At last year's The Game Awards, giant robots were all the rage and Mecha Break was at the forefront of this trend. Developed by Amazing Seasun Games, this multiplayer battle arena game offers intense combat, an abundance of lasers, and various modes including Mashmak, a PvPvE mode where players can battle bosses, collect loot, and extract resources.
Excitingly, the upcoming Global Storm open beta will showcase these modes, including 3v3 and 6v6 battles, later this month. So, when exactly can you join in on the action? The open beta will begin on Sunday, February 23 at 10am GMT, with crossplay enabled on Xbox Series X/S and PC. For those in the US, this translates to 5am ET and 2am PT.
Unfortunately, Mecha Break is an Xbox Series X/S console launch exclusive, so there won't be a PlayStation 5 version available during the beta. However, it has been hinted that a PS5 version may be released in the future.
So, what can players expect from the Mecha Break open beta? According to the developers, all the gameplay features available at launch will be included, such as tutorials, mech customization, and an explorable space station. There will also be a training room and a choice of 13 mechs to play as.
The beta will feature three game modes: 3v3 Ace Arena, 6v6 Operation Verge, and the highly-anticipated Mashmak PvPvE mode. This mode, described as an extraction-based game, allows players to use various equipment, including weapon pick-ups and weaponized gliders, to enhance their Striker's abilities.
With its slick graphics and cartoonish charm, Mecha Break is shaping up to be an exciting game. If you're curious to know more, check out our hands-on impressions from last year's trial run.
Mark your calendars, because Mecha Break is set to launch in spring 2025 on Xbox Series X/S and PC. But don't worry, the developer has promised that it will be available on "more platforms" later in the year.
