Mecha BREAK - Game Mode Trailer | The Game Awards 2024

Mecha Break, Amazing Seasun Games’ upcoming multiplayer mecha action shooter, showed up at The Game Awards 2024. We finally got a release window for Mecha Break during the show, while a press release detailed some of Amazing Seasun’s post-launch plans.

That newly confirmed launch window for Mecha Break is spring 2025. When it comes out then, Mecha Break will have three primary modes. That includes the 6v6 Battlefield and 3v3 Arena modes that players have been able to go hands-on with in previous betas and a PvPvE mode highlighted in its trailer at The Game Awards. That PvPvE mode puts players on a massive map of giant boss mech enemies and strongholds.

Players can work together to take down strongholds and defeat those bosses, but they can also fight each other. The mode will also have mechanics that can’t be found in other Mecha Break modes, like picking up dropped weapons and customizing their mech’s combative or healing capabilities in the middle of a match. This mode should appeal to fans of extraction shooters like Escape from Tarkov. We haven’t seen anything quite like that in a mecha game before.

In addition to explaining what Mecha Break will contain at launch, its developers are teasing what will come after that. A space station hub will be added, and players will be able to walk around a hangar, tactical command center, private living quarters, and shooting range. Eventually, Amazing Seasun wants to add a game mode where players can exit their mech’s cockpit and still fight.

While the game has to become a hit with players at release first, it’s good to know the developers have a long-term vision for this multiplayer game. Mecha Break will be released for PC and Xbox Series X/S sometime in spring 2025.

After a month with the Switch 2, I can’t fully recommend Nintendo’s new console
A Nintendo Switch 2 playing Mario Kart World appears on a table.

We're still firmly in the honeymoon period with the Switch 2 right now. Most of us are still exploring Mario Kart World's open world for secrets or wondering if Welcome Tour was worth the $10 price tag. With Donkey Kong Bananza arriving just in time to beef up the exclusive catalogue with a new 3D platformer, I found myself conflicted with my time with the console so far. I don't mean personally; I am in love with this piece of tech. What is trickier is when others ask me whether or not I think they should pick one up.

One month into the system's life, there's a lot to love already, but not without some caveats. Consoles only get more enticing as they age, so adopting one early essentially means you're investing at its least appealing time. There are plenty of people I would recommend a Switch 2 with no conditions, but I would say the majority of gamers are better off waiting.

I finally gave Roblox an honest shot and I totally get it now

Even as someone whose job it is to cover games, it is impossible not to have a few blind spots. I can hold my own in a discussion about League of Legends, know the history and general pulse in the Destiny community, and keep up with the latest goings on in Fortnite out of curiosity, but I couldn't tell you almost anything about Roblox before this week. I knew it was both a game and a creation engine that was quietly one of the most popular games in the world, but that's about it. As a 33-year-old man, I ignorantly assumed I was out of the game's demographic without ever giving it a shot.

I spent this past week righting that wrong to see for myself if Roblox really is something just for the younger generation. At the very least, I wanted to see if I could understand the appeal of the game even if it wasn't for me. I have come away not only fully understanding why Roblox is the cultural phenomenon it is, but it feels like the next evolution of one of my most formative eras in gaming.
