Canned multiplayer mech shooter Hawken is being revived as a PvE game, with Steam early access starting this week
This initial version of Hawken Reborn, described as being"very early in its lifecycle", will feature six playable story missions accessible via its Merc Net menu, one playable zone, and radio missions for"early replayability and exploration". It'll also include five mechs, plus"multiple weapons and thrusters to craft and tailor to your playstyle".
505 says it expects Hawken Reborn to remain in Steam early access for around 18 months, with new content coming"once our key foundations are in place". These new additions will include new mechs and missions, with co-operative multiplayer and"an epic story" coming as part of the game's full launch at a later date.
505 makes no mention of platform plans beyond PC, but curious sorts can get a first taste of Hawken Reborn when it enters Steam early access this Wednesday, 17th May.

His writing has been featured in Vice, Fanbyte, and the Financial Times. He'll play pretty much anything, and has written far too much on everything from visual novels to Assassin's Creed. His most profound loves are for CRPGs, immersive sims, and any game whose ambition outstrips its budget. He thinks you're all far too mean about Deus Ex: Invisible War.
