Steel Hunters Early Access Release Date Revealed

Steel Hunters was first announced in late 2024, and by early 2025, a closed beta playtest was released, receiving a wave of positive feedback from fans eager to know one thing: when will the game officially launch? Fortunately, the wait is over, as the developers at Wargaming have finally revealed the early access release date for Steel Hunters, and it’s coming much sooner than expected.

Steel Hunters Early Access Release Date And Details

As recently announced by the developers at Wargaming, the all-new battle royale mecha game Steel Hunters will be available for early access on April 2, 2025. Taking a closer look at the official community post on Steam, we get additional insights into what this means for players.

According to the developers, the purpose of early access is to refine and expand the game alongside the community, ensuring that every shot fired and every Hunter deployed is fine-tuned for the full release. They also reassure players that this won’t be a long, drawn-out process—the goal is to move quickly toward a full launch once player feedback helps polish the core experience.

We had a chance to test Steel Hunters during its beta playtest, and our initial impressions highlighted an action-packed mecha extravaganza, focusing on teamwork, strategy, and all-out metal-clashing chaos. However, we also noted some potential issues for the full release, such as control responsiveness and general rough edges in gameplay.

That said, we're hopeful that this early access launch will provide a clearer picture of what Steel Hunters truly has to offer. And you can bet that the moment it goes live, we’ll be jumping in to bring you updates, news, guides, and everything else you need to know about Steel Hunters.
