Hawken brings pretty multiplayer mech battles to the web Dec. 12
We’re sure you watched thousands of YouTube videos last year, but we bet only a handful featured flying robots with guns, and just one of those was an explosive multiplayer mech battle built on Unreal Engine 3 — yeah, that one, right up there. Hawken, the breakout title from indie studio Adhesive Games, is scheduled to launch on Dec. 12, published by Meteor Entertainment.
Hawken will be web-based, free-to-play and feature fast-paced action in short bursts, styled after Call of Duty multiplayer, Adhesive co-founder Khang Le said. Players in Hawken will battle for survival and resources inside flying, rocket-equipped mechs in various regions of a barren industrial wasteland (or heaven, as we call it). Hawken is multiplayer only and will play in a session-based format similar to League of Legends, Le said.
For a further glimpse at Hawken’s universe, hit up the video after the break, which displays desert gameplay. If that intrigues you, sign up for the closed beta right here — get three friends (enemies, strangers) to enlist and guarantee your spot.Continue reading Hawken brings pretty multiplayer mech battles to the web Dec. 12Hawken brings pretty multiplayer mech battles to the web Dec. 12 originally appeared on Joystiq on Mon, 06 Feb 2012 13:00:00 EST.
