After a successful Open Beta, the full launch of Mecha Break is now right around the corner, with excitement levels rising, and we’re here to tell you if you can jump into Early Access.
Mecha Break’s full release date is set for July 1, not long away, with a launch set across multiple platforms, including PC and consoles.
If you’re desperate to dive back into your suit for huge battles, read on to find out if Early Access is available.
Can You Play Mecha Break Early Access?
No, Mecha Break does not have any Early Access availability, so players around the world need to wait for the July 2 release date.
As Mecha Break is a free-to-play game, it’s not too surprising that no Early Access is available. However, many games in the past have allowed players to jump the queue by upgrading to a paid edition and offering Early Access as an incentive.
No details have been provided for any special editions of Mecha Break, with it seeming likely that all the paid options will arrive post-launch in the form of microtransactions.
Can You Play Mecha Break Early With a Demo?
No, there is no longer a demo available for Mecha Break, but hundreds of thousands of fans have already had the opportunity to get a taste of the action.
An Open Beta for Mecha Break began on February 23 and remained available until March 16, with accounts being wiped at the end date. When the full game launches, all account data will be reset.
The Open Beta was a huge success, achieving a tally of 317,000 concurrent players on Steam, although player numbers dwindled to around 25,000 at the back-end of availability.
Interest in the title remains high, with the official website showing over 450,000 players have pre-registered for the game, and feedback from the Open Beta has been taken on board, leading to major changes.
The hope is that these changes will lead to a fresh surge of players on launch, despite the lack of early access.
What Has Changed in Mecha Break Since the Open Beta?
The short answer: a lot.
One of the biggest changes comes from the monetization side, with all 12 strikers now unlocked for free, whereas in the Open Beta, they had to be purchased. Character modification is now also free.
Adjustments have also come to Mods, the base has been “revamped significantly,” and teasers will be shown on June 23 for new maps and two new strikers.
As a live-service title, expect more to be revealed in the coming weeks as the launch date approaches, with more then coming in the months after release.
