Hawken closed beta set for October 26th

Meteor Entertainment has announced that the closed beta for Hawken, the free-to-play, first-person mech shooter developed by Adhesive Games, will begin on October 26th until the 29th.

“The team has worked tirelessly to launch closed beta. Thanks to the awesome community, we learned a great deal from the Alpha 2 feedback,” said Khang Le, Creative Director and Co-founder of Adhesive Games. Le goes on to exclaim, ”We’re super excited about opening the gate and having a larger fan base playing Hawken for the very first time! I can’t wait to see how the general audience receives the game and all the crazy tactics they come up to dominate on the Hawken battlefield.”

“Hawken’s Alpha 2 testing was great. We broke a lot of things and that’s good. The more that we find wrong now; the smoother open beta will go,” explains CEO of Meteor Entertainment Mark Long. “We scaled up an order of magnitude in daily players and the server ping was so good we had players on the West Coast of the United States joining the United Kingdom servers. We cannot wait to see what happens as more players join in on closed beta.”

Hawken has already won more than 20 awards since June of 2012 and is the recipient of much media praise. Those interested in signing up for the upcoming closed beta can register today on the official website for a chance to participate in the four-day session.
