Taking place 200 years after the original War Robots, players will battle over a system of worlds called the Wild 10.
Get ready to unleash your fleet of War Robots, engage in epic 6v6 team-based PvP battles, raze battlegrounds beyond the stars, explore a wealth of customization options, and smash through destructible environments.
As the battles rage, the great iron fury of the high powered weapons on the war machines will wreak havoc on the environment as players scramble for control of objectives. Pilots will have to be smart in how they utilize their limited amount of customizable mechs during battles. Will they deploy a swift close-quarters robot that relies on stealth and upclose fire power or deploy devastating ordnance from a distance with heavy cannons and missiles? Especially successful pilots will also be able to unleash their Alpha during the match, a massive machine of death that can turn the tide of any engagement with their overwhelming firepower and tactical abilities.
Previously only available through Steam Early Access, My.Games announced that War Robots: Frontiers is hosting a console playtest for the first time on PlayStation and Xbox platforms, running from November 20 to December 4.
The Console Playtest features three maps: the fiery refinery Catalyst, the towering industry of Fissure, and the city-spanning Spectrum, as well as three modes: Warp Rush, Team Deathmatch, and Last Robot Standing. Warp Rush sees players capture strategic points on the map, Team Deathmatch needs no introduction, and Last Robot Standing is all about players ensuring they quickly eliminate the enemy team. In all modes players have to smartly manage the deployment of their robots, since they are a valuable commodity and respawning is often limited by either time or volume. Making the best decision to suit the mission at hand and their team’s state of play is a hallmark of an excellent pilot.
To become part of the console playtest, players can visit the dedicated website where it will guide them through the process of securing the key.
