Heavy Metal Machines is a one-of-a-kind 4v4 online multiplayer arena combat game, retiring tried-and-true fantasy heroes for unique vehicular death machines, piloted by a cast of larger-than-life post-apocalyptic road warriors that deal devastating destruction to the beat of a raucous heavy metal soundtrack. The Heavy Metal Machines closed beta will feature eight playable characters and a progression system to unlock unique skills, skins and abilities. A training mode and daily quests to challenge beta participants will also be available. 

In a post-­apocalyptic landscape ravaged by its own inhabitants, society has been reforged through metal and madness. A new breed of gladiators delivers mayhem and relentless destruction through visceral vehicular combat. The rules for the arena are simple: two teams enter, one team leaves. The four-player team that succeeds in decimating the enemy’s base first wins. Forget gasoline - the Heavy Metal Machines and their insane drivers run on pure adrenaline!

The new season of the Metal Pass, ‘Bellic Storm’, will bring more than 90 rewards to the players, including portraits, video effects, sprays, skins and the introduction of a new race of competitors, the Zoomorphs. Entering battle is a new called ‘Peacemaker’, a Pug who is set to become man’s worst enemy in his War Tank. Accompanied by his trusty German Shephard sidekicks, General Peacemaker will will explore a new part of the Lore, as the Zoomorphs, storm the gates of Metal City and join the pre-existing tournaments.
