Synopsis

Hawken is a free-to-play multiplayer mech first-person shooter video game. The game features five game modes: Team Deathmatch, Deathmatch, Co-op Bot Team Deathmatch, Siege, and Missile Assault. It follows the freemium model of game monetization, where in-game purchases are the main source of revenue. Hawken had closed alpha and beta programs that took place before the official PC open beta release on December 12, 2012. The game had been constantly updated with new content and balance changes in the form of a game patch until spring 2014. Following Reloaded Games' acquisition of the game's IP and assets in March 2015, the developers launched the game on console platforms in early July 2016. On October 2, 2017, the developers announced that the PC servers would be permanently shut down on January 2, 2018. The developers cited a need to "refocus [their] development efforts." The game is still active on consoles, being developed by Hawken Entertainment and published by 505 Games. In 2020, a group of fans revived the PC release in offline mode, with future plans for multiplayer support, under the project title "Hawakening." On May 17, 2023, a sequel titled Hawken Reborn by 505 Games entered into Steam Early Access.
