The highly anticipated mech action game, Mecha BREAK, is officially kicking off its “Global Storm” open beta on February 23. Developer Seasun Games is giving players on Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam a chance to pilot powerful mechs and engage in high-octane combat. This open beta will provide a comprehensive look at the game’s core features before its full launch.
What to Expect in the Full-Featured Open Beta
Seasun Games has confirmed this will be a complete experience, not a limited trial. Players will have access to all major gameplay systems planned for the official release. The goal is to let the community test everything and provide valuable feedback.
From the moment you log in, you will be greeted by a futuristic space station hub. This is where you can customize your pilot and mech before heading into battle. The developers are including a wide range of content to ensure players can fully explore the game’s mechanics.
Here is a quick look at what will be available:
- A detailed tutorial for newcomers to learn the controls.
- Thirteen unique mechs, known as Strikers, each offering a different playstyle.
- Updated maps for the popular 6v6 Operation VERGE and 3v3 Ace Arena modes.
- A new player reputation system designed to promote fair and positive gameplay.
- Expanded customization options for both your mech and your pilot avatar.
- Satisfying combat finishing moves to secure epic takedowns.
A dedicated training room will also be open for players who want to practice their skills and master the unique abilities of each Striker without the pressure of a live match.
Introducing Mashmak: A High-Stakes PvPvE Mode
The most significant addition to the open beta is the brand-new Mashmak mode. This game type introduces a thrilling mix of player-versus-player and player-versus-environment combat, creating a dynamic and unpredictable battlefield. In this mode, teams will fight to control the Mashmak Isles and its valuable resource, Corite.
However, players are not the only threat. A mysterious organization called Theia’s Vanguard has occupied the area, and their presence has triggered dangerous environmental disasters. Pilots must contend with violent Corite pulse storms that can sweep across the map, destroying everything in their path. Survival will depend on strategic positioning and quick thinking just as much as combat skill.
New Equipment to Survive the Chaos
To help players adapt to the chaotic conditions of the Mashmak Isles, Seasun Games is introducing new deployable equipment and tactical options. These additions are designed to give teams more ways to approach a fight and turn the tide of battle.
Players can now equip their Strikers for specialized roles, such as close-quarters assault, long-range sniping, suppressive fire, or even healing to support their teammates. Weaponized gliders will add a new layer to aerial combat, allowing pilots to attack from above. Furthermore, as a match progresses, stronger weapons and gear will become available, rewarding teams that can hold their ground and play strategically.
The Road Ahead for Mecha BREAK
This open beta is a critical step for Seasun Games as it prepares to launch Mecha BREAK into the competitive multiplayer market. By opening the game to Xbox and PC players, the developer aims to gather feedback and fine-tune the experience before the full release.
With a PlayStation 5 version also planned for 2025, the “Global Storm” beta is the first major opportunity for a global audience to see what Mecha BREAK has to offer. For mech fans, February 23 marks the perfect chance to get ahead of the competition and help shape the future of this exciting new title.
