Steel Hunters Mixes Hero Shooter, Extraction, Battle Royale, And Mechs Into An Explosive Multiplayer Meal

Wargaming has built a gaming empire on the multiplayer experience. World Of Tanks put the company on the map back in 2010, and since then, the MMO action game has expanded to the air and sea with World Of Warplanes and World Of Warships.

Steel Hunters is a free-to-play PvPvE third-person shooter that combines the unique characters of hero shooters, eliminations of battle royales, and key-item retrieval of extraction shooters into one experience.
