War Robots: Frontiers Console Playtest Is Live
After c Closed Beta on PC, console players finally get their chance to try out multiplayer mech shooter War Robots: Frontiers. The PlayStation and Xbox playtest opens up on November 20 and will run up to December 4. Players won’t have to wait too long to play the full game, as it’s currently slated for release in early 2025.
War Robots: Frontiers is a competitive online mech shooter in which teams of six players face off against each other in explosive robot mayhem. Players drop into the unclaimed frontier of the Wild Ten, a newly discovered planetary system that three megacorporations are vying to control in a cold war, where mercenary Robot Pilots are the primary combatants. The events of the game take place in the War Robots Universe a few hundred years in the future.
Players can assemble a squad of five fully armed battle robots of different classes, from sturdy defenders, cunning flankers, scrappy assault mechs, or strategic tacticians. There are more than 60 Robot Parts, more than 20 weapons, 3 Titan Heavy Mechs, and special modules to choose from – all to create a truly unique robot that fits a player’s playstyle. New tactical options can be unlocked through teamplay, and each player can call in their ultimate gambit: a giant Titan-class mech to truly push their advantage.
The Console Playtest features three maps: the fiery refinery Catalyst, the towering industry of Fissure, and the city-spanning Spectrum, as well as three modes: Warp Rush, Team Deathmatch, and Last Robot Standing. Warp Rush sees players capture strategic points on the map, Team Deathmatch needs no introduction, and Last Robot Standing is all about players ensuring they quickly eliminate the enemy team. In all modes players have to smartly manage the deployment of their robots, since they are a valuable commodity and respawning is often limited by either time or volume. Making the best decision to suit the mission at hand and their team’s state of play is a hallmark of an excellent pilot.
