About HAWKEN REBORN

✦ AI summary

HAWKEN REBORN puts you in the pilot seat of a highly mobile mech to fight through the toxic, corporate-controlled dystopia of Illal in visceral PvE combat against warring factions and deadly adversaries. Customize your war machine with deep progression systems, take on bounty contracts to earn upgrades, and uncover the truth behind the planet's catastrophic downfall.


Welcome to the world of Illal, a planet once thought to be humanity's future utopia, turned into a grim dystopia driven by corporate corruption and greed. Illicit terraforming poisoned the atmosphere and a terrible accident gave birth to the “Giga,” a nanite plague that ravaged half the planet.

Become a mercenary pilot, pitting your mech against the dangers of Illal, gaining fame, fortune, and resources to reach the truth behind its bodyguard of lies.


A New Way to Play


Experience a brand new Player vs Environment (PVE) experience in the Hawken Universe as you fight through the dystopic lands of Illal against warring factions, greedy corporations, and even more deadly adversaries.



Visceral, High Octane Mech Combat


Experience moment-to-moment combat with highly mobile combat machines equipped with deadly weapons to dominate opponents and unique thrusters that enhance both ground and vertical mobility.

Patrol For Bounty Contracts


Take on special Radio Missions while on Patrol to earn scrip and resources to upgrade your Mech. Be careful though; the longer you’re out there, the harder your enemies will become. Grab what you can and get back to base - if your Mech goes down, it’s back to the Hangar with nothing but scraps.


Build Your Perfect War Machine


Construct military-grade mech models known as ‘Axes’ with an all-new blueprint and upgrade system featuring a deep progression of power-up options for weapons and key components.


Discover a Re-imagined World


Uncover never-before-seen regions of Illal as you fight head-to-head with the corporations and factions fighting over a vast, futuristic, open world filled with resources, forbidden zones, and enemies lurking around every corner.

HAWKEN REBORN is a free-to-play extraction shooter set in the Hawken universe that divides players between those who appreciate its innovative difficulty scaling and progression loop, and those disappointed by its departure from the original's 3v3 competitive multiplayer format.

It is mockery of the original. Go play the actual one. https://hawakening.com/

Almost everyone leaving negative reviews either wanted more Hawken or got upset at that there was a store and never played more then a match or two. This game is NOT Hawken 2, TBH if they had chosen an entirely different name they probably wouldn't have been review bombed to oblivion; the game is at best in the Hawken world, there is no 3v3 mech fighting to be had. And everything in the store that i saw (at this point of time) you can get in the game. I've played for less than 10 hours and i've already found all the blueprints and am just lacking on materials to build everything. The game has a fun loop with an inovative difficulty curve where you can leave at any time, but the game gets harder the longer you stay in a match. it's not particularly hard; that is to say that I regularly play harder games. You take a mission, complete Points Of Interests(POIs) on the way, and POIs reset every few minutes so you can attack them for more resources multiple times in a match. Gettings past the naming, you have small, medium, and large mechs, trade off being health vs speed, each class of mech has it's own set of weapons to choose from and both the mechs and weapons can be modified to get …

A tragic shadow of the original mech combat game. Stripping away the gritty competitive multiplayer roots in favor of a clunky, uninspired PvE free-to-play model completely missed what made Hawken special.
