Hawken is a free-to-play multiplayer mech first-person shooter video game initially developed by Adhesive Games, now by Reloaded Games. The game focuses on creating an intense battle experience that captures the feel of piloting a mech while keeping the action fast-paced and strategic. The game features six game modes: Team Deathmatch, Deathmatch, Co-op Bot Destruction, Co-op Bot Team Deathmatch, Siege and Missile Assault. It currently follows the freemium model of game monetization with in-game purchases as the source of revenue.
Hawken had closed alpha and beta programs that took place before the official PC open beta release on 12 December 2012. The game had been constantly updated with new content and balance patches until Spring 2014. Following Reloaded Games' acquisition of the game's IP and assets in March 2015, the developer team launched the game onto the console platforms in July 2016. Currently, the goal of the developers is to bring all platforms on the same patch version; once completed, each subsequent update will become feature parity for all platforms.
