Developer Adhesive Games and publisher Meteor Entertainment’s upcoming independent multiplayer mech combat title “Hawken” has now received an entirely new trailer for E3 as well as a live action trailer.
“Hawken” focuses on creating an intense battle experience that captures the feel of piloting a mech while keeping the action fast-paced and strategic. The game has only recently gone Free-to-play and has launched a sign-up page for an upcoming Beta of the game.
A mech-based first-person shooter, the game takes place in a post-apocalyptic human-colonized planet industrialized to the point of disintegration, in which the hunt for resources has become a battle for survival. As of now, four game modes are planned for release: team deathmatch, free-for-all deathmatch, "siege" and another yet-specified unique team game mode.
Seven to eight exclusive maps have also been planned for the game on release, with plans to provide additional downloadable content later. There will be as many as three different mech types: a light type, a heavy type, and an all-around type.
The player in “Hawken” will assume the role of a battle mech pilot, armed with cannon-like weaponry. Unlike many other first-person shooters, weapons will not need ammunition but will be prone to overheat. Overheating will shut down all weapons of the mech and force the player to find a safe place to recover.
Turrets are also featured in the game as two types: stationary and placeable. Stationary turrets will be associated to the team which activates the turret, while placeable turrets can be picked up and placed around the map by anyone.
The game will run on Unreal Engine 3 and is set for a December 12 release.
