Wargaming officially announced the news alongside a dedicated teaser trailer:
The early access period will serve as a pivotal development phase, enabling players to actively contribute through feedback. Developers will provide consistent updates about the project's progress while sharing concepts and improvements leading up to the early access release.
Every Hunter in Steel Hunters features distinct gameplay mechanics, ability sets, and progression paths. This design encourages players to test diverse tactical approaches for efficiently dispatching opponents and securing the first evacuation slot.
The roster includes combatants like Razorside, Heartbreaker, Fenris, Ursus, Trenchwalker, Prophet, and Weaver - each equipped with specialized skills that dominate battlegrounds including Crimson Ridge, Maryland Heights, and Stonecutter Keep. Six duo teams will compete in each match, with only one squad claiming victory in the Hunting Grounds.
Steel Hunters enters early access on April 2, 2025, available for PC through Steam and the Wargaming Game Center.
