Following a successful campaign at Summer Game Fest and the Xbox Games Showcase in June, Amazing Seasun Games last week announced that its high-intensity multiplayer mech shooter Mecha BREAK will host its first-ever Open Beta Test for PC players from August 10 to August 13, 2024. A Limited Access Beta Test will be available to previous Mecha BREAK Closed Beta testers, hardcore community members, and influencers from August 2 to August 8.

This test focuses on the intense 6v6 Battlefield mode, Mecha BREAK’s fast-paced, three-axis movement hero shooter experience. The latest build of the beta also adds a new pilotable mech, Stego, as well as significant changes to the rhythm of combat, time-to-kill, and an overall faster pace for all mechs.

For a chance to join the Limited Access phase, dedicated players should follow @MechaBREAK on socials, pre-register on the website, and watch on Twitch to receive a test code via Twitch Drops. A select number of codes will also be available from partners such as Razer and ALIENWARE.


Open Access is intended to provide a hands-on experience to as many players as possible, while testing server load and stability. Once the beta servers are live, they will be available to players nonstop, with a short reset period between the Limited and Open Access phases. Servers will be available for players in North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Asia-Pacific regions.

Mecha BREAK puts players in the pilot seat of their own customized mechs as they dive into a clash of steel and plasma unlike any other. Featuring mech designs from esteemed artists Takayuki Yanase (Metal Gear, Gundam, Armored Core, Death Stranding) and Junya Ishigaki (Xenogears, Gundam, Macross), players will have the opportunity to dive into seamless, electrifying gameplay across 3v3 Arena, 6v6 Battlefield, and up to 60-player PvEvP game modes. 

Mecha BREAK’s cosmetic customization, player-created pilots, a wide array of mech and weapon types, and three distinct game modes will keep players engaged for hundreds of hours. An array of attacker, brawler, defender, sniper, and support mechs, each with unique playstyles and toolsets, will further deepen the player’s attachment to their favorite mechs.


Key features of Mecha BREAK include:
  • No Pilot Flies Alone: Join squads of three or six, showcasing exceptional piloting skills to conquer foes and strategically coordinate victories. Take full control and turn the tides of battle in the up to 60-player PvEvP mode, facing ambushes and confronting hostile mechs from other players.
     
  • A Vast Arsenal of Mechs and Weapons: Discover an array of assault, melee, sniper, reconnaissance, and support mechs, each with unique playstyles. Engage in immersive aerial and ground combat, employing strategic tactics for close and long-range encounters. Unleash devastating firepower, scorch foes with precision beams, and rain missiles upon the battlefield.
     
  • Fully Customizable Mechs: Customize your mech down to its individual parts with precision. Personalize every detail, from full-body paint jobs to unique hues for armor, internal framework, and weaponry. Choose from a variety of colors, wear levels, glosses, and metallic finishes to showcase your unique style. Enhance your mech further with patterns and decals to create a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.

Conan: Bones of fate are coming for you...

Well, well, well. Look what the cat dragged in!

For the uninitiated (and tsk-tsk if that's the case), I'm Rialto—purveyor of pulp, herald of heroics, and your personal guide through the blood-soaked miasma of Conan's world.

Whether you're a grizzled veteran of a thousand campaigns or a wide-eyed newcomer still wet behind the ears, gather 'round. For I bring tidings that'll make your heart race faster than mine on a Saturday night at the lounge.

Comics! Games! Books that could double as barbarian-grade bludgeons! By Crom's hairy backside, I’ve got it all!

So don your armor, sharpen your sword, and for the love of Mitra, try to keep up. The Hyborian Age waits for no one, and neither does Rialto.

Conan's Back, and He's Bringing the Frost!
Mark your calendars and hold onto your loincloths, because CONAN #13 is about to burst onto the scene like I burst into tears when I pay taxes (I don’t pay taxes)!

On July 24, 2024 (that's right, put it in stone), we're diving back into the frosty tales of young Conan. Jim Zub, that master of mythic mayhem, is peeling back the layers of this icy tale like a sweaty barbarian shedding furs.

But wait, there's more! Doug Braithwaite’s art will have you feeling the chill of the tundra and the heat of battle, all rendered in colors so vivid by Diego Rodriguez, you'll swear you can taste the blood and snow.

So, what'll it be? Are you gonna sit there like a frozen Vanir, or are you gonna join the adventure? The choice is yours, but remember – Crom favors the bold, and Rialto favors those who pre-order!

SECURE MY COPY

One, Two, Thrice?
Remember our favorite Cimmerian's high-seas hijinks? Well, he's back on dry land and the shore ain't ready for him. "Conan the Barbarian Vol. 2: Thrice Marked for Death", the newest trade paperback collection, has hit the shelves!

But here's the rub: Our boy's got ghosts. Not the rattling chains and "boo" kind. No, he's haunted by memories of Belit, that saucy minx who captained the Tigress and ruled the Black Coast.

What's a barbarian to do? Why, dive headfirst into a high-stakes heist, of course! But will it be the cure for his melancholy... or the final nail in his very muscular coffin?

CLAIM MY COPY

Moving Pictures of an Age Undreamed Of!

We've done it. Captured the very essence of the Hyborian Age and crammed it into a YouTube video. I know, I know. Sounds impossible, right? Wrong!

Picture this: All the blood, sweat, and primordial glory of Conan's world, right at your fingertips. No risk of Pictish arrows or Swamp Devil teeth (unless you’re into teeth). Just pure, unadulterated lore.

It's like I'm right there, whispering tales of high adventure in your ear. Except I'm not. Because that would be weird. (Why did you even bring that up?)

So what are you waiting for? A personal invitation from Conan himself? Trust me, you don't want him knocking on your door. Man's got a heavy hand.

WITNESS THE AGE

Roll the Bones of Fate!

What's that rumbling on the horizon? A new age of adventure, that's what! The Conan: The Hyborian Age RPG is charging towards us, and it's bringing a taste of the action right to your grimy little hands.

Picture this: You. A character sheet. A fistful of dice. And a world rich with possibility.

But wait! Before you start swinging your imaginary broadsword, we've got a little appetizer for you. A morsel. A tidbit. A quickstart guide that’s free and ready to use right now!

Inside this quickstart guide, you'll find:

Rules so streamlined and easy, even a drunk could play (not that I’d know)

Combat mechanics bloodier than a Pict's war paint.

A ready-to-play tale that'll curl your toes and test your mettle.

So take the plunge and carve your legend in the annals of the Hyborian Age by downloading the quickstart guide now!

Rialto’s Bazaar of Bizarrities
Listen up! Rialto's got some new goodies that'll make your Hyborian Age adventures even more epic.

Literary Loof for the Discerning Barbarian
Ever wished you could peek inside the mind of a madman? Well, now's your chance!

Behold: Conan of Cimmeria Vol 1. Unedited tales. Schultz's illustrations. Drafts, notes, maps—the whole bloody package!

What's that? Limited edition, you say? Rarer than a honest politician in Zamora!

Grab it. Cherish it. Hell, sleep with it under your pillow if you want. After all, reading is the best form of melatonin.

CLAIM MY TREASURE
Wear Your Barbarism on Your Sleeve
Tired of your threads screaming "civilized weakling"? Fear not!

Feast your eyes on this: The Coming of Conan Tee. Pure. Cotton. Savagery.

Imagine Windsor-Smith's 1970 masterpiece hugging your torso like a Cimmerian battle-brother as you wear it from the tavern to the gym to your sister’s wedding!

(Note: Rialto is not liable if you wear this shirt in public and swooning starts or fistfights break out)

UNLEASH MY INNER BARBARIAN

Well, my battle-hardened comrades and starry-eyed recruits, we've reached the end of our little scroll. But fear not! For in the world of Conan, every ending is just a new beginning in disguise.

Remember: keep your swords sharp, your wits sharper, and your eyes peeled for the next missive from yours truly. After all, you never know when opportunity—or a rampaging horde—might come knocking.

But don't you worry your pretty little heads—I'll be back before you can say "By Crom's..."

Well, you know the rest.
