Gamescom ONL – Mecha Break Gets Action-Packed New Trailer, Closed Beta On Xbox Coming Soon

Mecha Break developer Amazing Seasun Games has revealed that the game will have its first-ever Xbox Series X|S closed beta test from August 25-27. As seen during Gamescom Opening Night Live, a new trailer for the fast-paced mecha multiplayer game also debuted, showing off more of its Zone of the Enders- and Armored Core-inspired gameplay. Exact details on how to gain access to the closed beta haven’t been revealed yet, but the developer says that you can stay tuned to its social media platforms for updates.

A closed beta test for Mecha Break was recently held on PC. Amazing Seasun Games says that it received valuable feedback from these sessions, which saw a peak of 51,000 concurrent players on Steam and over 120,000 on the game’s launcher in China.

The game is set in the distant future after a huge cataclysmic event called “The Catastrophe” has all but destroyed Earth and has seen survivors battle each other over control of a dangerous material called Eruptive Inorganic Carbide that emerged following the planet-wide devastation.

The studio is aiming to launch Mecha Break in 2025, although it’ll be landing in a very crowded market for multiplayer games. In addition to established games like Overwatch 2 and Valorant, it’ll have to contend with new challengers like Marvel Rivals and Concord, which also feature distinctive spins on team-based combat.

Mecha Break could stand apart from the pack with its selection of heavily armed mechs for players to pilot, and if 6v6 multiplayer isn’t to your liking, you can also try out the game’s battle-royale mode, which has space for up to 48 players to duke it out in all-out warfare and see who’ll be the last machine standing.
