Hawken returns as a PvE mech game after five years.

Five years after being pulled offline, free-to-play multiplayer mech shooter Hawken is being revived by 505 Games as the PvE-focused, and initially single-player, Hawken Reborn. The game will launch into early access on Steam this week, with six playable story missions, 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". The game is expected to remain in early access for around 18 months, with new content coming as part of the game's full launch at a later date.
