'War Robots: Frontiers' Early Access Update Adds New Map, Weapons, Robots And More in Anticipation Of Open Beta - Trailer

by Rainier on March 27, 2024 @ 4:53 p.m. PDT

War Robots: Frontiers is a multiplayer, third-person mech shooter delivering intense, tactical skirmishes featuring immense, heavily customizable mechs.

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.

After its previous Steam Early Access launch, it has just received its biggest update yet!

The various changes to systems have been detailed in a development diary, but the most substantial new features and updates are as follows:

  • Revamped Customization - Apply decals, stickers and more with visual customization options for both Robots and Titans.
  • Two New Robots - Highlight enemy positions, ping them for your allies, prepare to fight with Orochi, and buff your allies to deal increased damage as Purifier.
  • New Map - Jump into the new Catalyst map and prepare for explosive gameplay! Pilots will encounter an aggressive volcanic environment, where lava rivers pose just as much of a threat as the enemy.
  • New Weapons - Take to the battlefield with two brand-new weapons! Wield the heavy flamethrower Incinerator, and shoot a high ballistic trajectory with Rampant. Slow down your foes and inflict damage with a new Ability, Minefield
  • New Firing Range - Test out your Robot builds before you hit the battlefield with the brand-new Firing Range. Prep, assess, and fight!
  • New Titan Constructor - Enhance your Titans in the new Titan Constructor, and give them more firepower with new weapons for AlphaGrim, and Matriarch Titans.

As of the release of the Spring Update, all accounts have now been wiped so everyone can begin their experience on equal footing. Pioneer Pack owners will be able to jump back into the Spring Update straight away with exclusive Early Access until April 10.

In addition to this exciting update, the game will be available for free from April 11th to May 2nd on the MY.GAMES Launcher and via the Steam Demo Version, allowing any prospective Pilot to try out the game for free and take the Spring Update for a test drive.

Key Features:

  • FIGHT IN ONLINE PVP BATTLES: Jump in the cockpit of a War Robot, venture to new battlegrounds on distant worlds, and team up with friends for thrilling, fast-paced, 6v6 PvP battles.
  • SMASH UP DESTRUCTIBLE ENVIRONMENTS: Maps will react visibly as battle rages on. Fight enemy War Robots through destructible terrain, and watch as the world and its Robots wear down, crumble, and break.
  • CREATE & CUSTOMIZE WAR ROBOTS: You can build new War Robots and engineer them to battle-ready perfection. Arm your fleet with new weapons, abilities, modules, Robot Pilots, and special cosmetic upgrades!
  • UNLEASH YOUR ALPHA ROBOT: Shoot and smash enemy War Robots to build up your Alpha Power gauge. When it's full, you can unleash your ultimate secret weapon — the Alpha Robot — for maximum damage!

War Robots: Frontiers was built completely from the ground up for modern PC and Consoles using Unreal Engine 5.

A Pioneer pack not only contains access to the game but also contains items for in-game use. Pioneers will be able to participate in the development of the game and try out new features first and help the developers with feedback and suggestions.

Currently available through Steam Early Access, War Robots: Frontiers is coming to PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam) in 2024.
