The wait is over, pilots – it’s time to get involved with War Robots: Frontiers, for free.
MY.GAMES is blasting off with War Robots: Frontiers, a new era of tactical mech combat.
Available now on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One, this free-to-play online multiplayer game delivers explosive action, deep customisation, and strategic gameplay.
And it’s been a long time coming – we first reported on War Robots: Frontiers back in 2022, with a promised 2023 release that unfortunately didn’t materialise. We even covered the console playtest in 2024, and now, the full game is finally here.
Feel the Mech, Feel the Power
War Robots: Frontiers aims to deliver an authentic mech combat experience. Built from the ground up in Unreal Engine 5, the game showcases stunning visuals and realistic physics, immersing players in the heart of the action.
Every step your mech takes, every shot you fire, and every clash of metal resonates with impactful detail.
Customise Your War Machine
One of the core pillars of War Robots: Frontiers is customisation. Build your own unique mech from a vast array of parts, including chassis, cores, weapons, and skill upgrades. Tailor your mech to your preferred playstyle, whether you favour aggressive assaults, tactical manoeuvering, or impenetrable defense.
Personalise your mech’s appearance with unique cosmetics and select a pilot with specialised abilities to further enhance your combat prowess.
Strategic Teamwork and Dynamic Battlefields
Victory in War Robots: Frontiers requires more than just firepower. Coordinate with your teammates, utilise the terrain to your advantage, and execute tactical manoeuvers to outsmart and outgun your opponents. Seize the high ground, flank your enemies, and unleash devastating special abilities to dominate the battlefield.
War Robots: Frontiers offers a balanced experience that caters to both newcomers and seasoned mech warriors. New players can jump in with pre-built mechs, while veterans can fine-tune every aspect of their machines. Cross-platform online play ensures a large and active community, with multiple game modes and ranked matches to suit every playstyle and skill level.
From Early Access to Full Release
The game has undergone significant improvements since its Early Access launch on Steam, thanks to community feedback and extensive playtesting. A revamped UI, a new tutorial, map reworks, and ongoing mech balancing ensure a polished and engaging experience.
It lands with four maps as follows…
- TERMINUS: A frozen asteroid that harbors a spaceport and cargo facility. Its World Bridge connects the Wild Ten to the Solar System, making it a crucial strategic foothold for Dominions. Full of dense tunnels and open avenues, its energy barriers block projectiles but allow War Robots to pass, allowing for clever tactical plays.
- FISSURE: Found in the snowy southern hemisphere of Wild 5, a massive refinery dominates its wintry landscape. A rare resource called Noachium is processed here, which powers War Robots and interstellar travel. Its treacherous high-ground terrain is ideal for snipers, while close-combat brawlers can find battles near the refinery. Fissure can be traversed with lifts, and a large machine can even be crashed on top of unsuspecting enemies.
- SPECTRUM: This secretive research base consumes a tremendous amount of power, and a colossal Warp needle skewers its heart. It is a site of almost constant conflict. With plenty of high ground for sniping, Spectrum is also the perfect place for mid or close-range fights, with lots of secure points and open paths available.
- CATALYST: The volcanic activity around this geothermal power plant produces a rare crystalline substance that powers Wild Prime. Fights break out in the center, away from the damaging lava, but teams can find good sniping opportunities on each side. For braver Pilots, scaling the plant’s pipes offers vulnerability in exchange for control of the map from above.
And then three game modes…
- WARP RUSH: The goal is to capture Warp Gates, which can be used tactically as spawn points once captured. Holding Warp Gates lets teams accumulate Control Points. Reaching the Control Point target or defeating all enemy Robots will secure victory.
- LAST ROBOT STANDING (LRS): An elimination-based mode. Teams must strive to destroy all enemy War Robots. Respawns are limited to your initial Drop Team, but as new spawn points become available, they can be leveraged to get closer to ongoing battles. Engage, obliterate, repeat.
- TEAM DEATHMATCH (TDM): Earn points by destroying enemy Robots and Titans. To win, teams must reach the point limit before the enemy. Fallen Robots can be redeployed after a delay. On top of that, collecting Power-Ups offers massive combat bonuses, including increased damage, reduced cooldowns, and even orbital assaults. The first team to 30 eliminations wins.
