High-octane mech combat returns in Hawken Reborn!

Welcome to the world of Illal, a planet once thought to be humanity's future utopia, turned into a grim dystopia driven by corporate corruption and greed. Illicit terraforming poisoned the atmosphere and a terrible accident gave birth to the “Giga,” a nanite plague that ravaged half the planet.

Become a mercenary pilot, pitting your mech against the dangers of Illal, gaining fame, fortune, and resources to reach the truth behind its bodyguard of lies.

Experience a brand new Player vs Environment (PVE) experience in the Hawken Universe as you fight through the dystopic lands of Illal against warring factions, greedy corporations, and even more deadly adversaries.

Experience moment-to-moment combat with highly mobile combat machines equipped with deadly weapons to dominate opponents and unique thrusters that enhance both ground and vertical mobility.

“Hawken Reborn is launching on Early Access and is a genuinely early-in-development game. It launches initially with six playable story missions available via the Merc Net menu. At Early Access launch, we will have one zone playable, with radio missions that are playable in Patrol, allowing for initial early replayability and exploration. This content is the foundation of our core gameplay.

Additionally, the game has five mechs at launch, with multiple weapons and thrusters to craft and tailor to your playstyle. More options to unlock will be introduced via future updates.

We're looking for pilots to start their journeys in Early Access to help provide valuable feedback to help guide combat improvements and gameplay changes.”

“We’re currently in Phase 1 of our Early Access plans - focusing on polishing the game and optimizing the gameplay and combat experience while improving critical elements like the UI, enemy interactions, and more. As we progress and take in community feedback, we’ll move into our next planned phases with additional content to unlock once our key foundations are in place.

In Phase 2 and beyond, we'll provide free updates with new missions, new mechs, and more content to enjoy. We'll continue tuning the experience regularly and working closely with the community to update on those changes as they're introduced.

Expect the official release to be the start of Hawken's next chapter, with cooperative multiplayer, exciting new content to explore and collect, and an epic storyline to dive into!”

Take on special Radio Missions while on Patrol to earn scrip and resources to upgrade your Mech. Be careful though; the longer you’re out there, the harder your enemies will become. Grab what you can and get back to base - if your Mech goes down, it’s back to the Hangar with nothing but scraps.

Construct military-grade mech models known as ‘Axes’ with an all-new blueprint and upgrade system featuring a deep progression of power-up options for weapons and key components.

Uncover never-before-seen regions of Illal as you fight head-to-head with the corporations and factions fighting over a vast, futuristic, open world filled with resources, forbidden zones, and enemies lurking around every corner.

Play a part in the next chapter of mech warfare in the Hawken Universe with six opening missions to complete in this initial Arc. Venture out in your mech and fight alongside new characters to discover all new storylines hidden deep in Illal that will continue to evolve in the future.

Hawken Reborn is coming to Steam Early Access on May 17, 2023, with full release planned in late 2024.
