The highly anticipated mech action game Mecha BREAK is revving up for its “Global Storm” open beta on February 23. Developer Seasun Games has confirmed that players on Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam will get a taste of the adrenaline-fueled battles before the game’s official launch.
Everything Players Can Expect in the Open Beta
This isn’t a limited trial with half-baked content—Seasun Games is going all in. The open beta will showcase all major gameplay features that will be available when the game officially launches. Players will step into a futuristic space station hub, customize their pilots and mechs, and test their skills across three core game modes.
Here’s what players can expect:
- A fully-fledged tutorial to introduce new players to the combat mechanics.
- Thirteen unique mechs, called Strikers, each with distinct combat styles.
- An explorable space station serving as the game’s hub.
- A training room for players to refine their piloting skills.
- Updated maps for the six-versus-six Operation VERGE and three-versus-three Ace Arena modes.
- A new player reputation system to encourage fair play.
- Combat finishing moves for satisfying takedowns.
- Expanded customization options for both pilots and mechs.
New PvPvE Mode “Mashmak” Brings High-Stakes Battles
The biggest new addition is Mashmak, a mode that mixes player-versus-player-versus-environment (PvPvE) mechanics. Pilots will fight for control of the Mashmak Isles, a region rich in Eruptive Inorganic Carbide (EIC)—also known as Corite. But there’s a catch. The Theia’s Vanguard, a mysterious organization, has seized control of the area, triggering environmental disasters that make every battle unpredictable.
This means players won’t just be fighting each other. Corite pulse storms—violent, unpredictable energy surges—will sweep across the battlefield, potentially wiping out everything in their path. Surviving isn’t just about skillful piloting but also strategic movement and decision-making.
New Equipment to Adapt to the Chaos
To counter these extreme conditions, Seasun Games has introduced new deployable equipment that can change the tide of battle.
- Weapon pickups: Scattered across the battlefield, these can provide temporary boosts.
- Weaponized gliders: Aerial combat just got more intense, allowing pilots to rain destruction from above.
- Specialized roles: Players can equip their Strikers for close-quarters combat, sniping, suppressive fire, or healing—adapting to their team’s needs on the fly.
- Progressive power scaling: As battles rage on, stronger weapons and equipment will become available, rewarding the most experienced and strategic pilots.
What This Means for the Future of Mecha BREAK
Seasun Games is clearly positioning Mecha BREAK as a serious competitor in the mech-action multiplayer space. With a PlayStation 5 release set for later in 2025, this open beta is a major opportunity for Xbox and PC players to get a head start, provide feedback, and refine their skills before the full launch.
For now, all eyes are on February 23 when Mecha BREAK’s open beta kicks off. Whether you’re a seasoned mech pilot or a newcomer to the genre, this is one test that might be too exciting to miss.
