In 2011 A mech fighting game has been announced that blew the internet away. With a machine warrior-inspired aesthetics and fast-paced, pounding robot action, hawken looked like one of the coolest video games the world had ever seen.
This launch week would prove successful the maximum limit for the game; While it eventually released as a free-to-play multiplayer shooter and received some attention as a live-action adaptation, the game itself wasn’t as interesting as its aesthetic, and in 2018 its servers were shut down.
But man, it looked like it so goodand a lot of people remember and love it, so maybe it’s not a big surprise that 505 Games decided to bring the franchise to the market back proclaiming Hawken reborn earlier today:
Bring it back might be a little unfair here: This isn’t a reboot of the original, but an entirely new game that removes the player-vs-player combat from hawken for a single player PvE game that will have missions and a “narrative”.. This will not only be a nice surprise for interested fans hawkens universe more than its actual gameplay, but also for everyone who likes it Titanfall and agrees that we’ll probably never get one again Titanfall.
