Beleaguered mech shooter Hawken is shutting down on PC

[Administrator]

Free-to-play mech shooter Hawken will be removed from Steam on January 2, 2018, and its PC servers will be shut down. Additionally, all DLC and purchasable content will be unavailable as of today.
According to a statement on the official Hawken Facebook page, the decision has been made so that the team can "refocus" its development efforts. "It's been an incredibly rewarding experience working alongside such a dedicated PC player base", reads the announcement, "Your feedback and support has been invaluable to us, and the team looks forward to creating more great games based on what we've learned from you."
Hawken first burst onto the scene back in 2011, debuting with an eye-catching trailer that apparently had publishers and investors tripping over themselves to get a piece of the delicious mech-flavoured Hawken pie. Eventually, it fell under the wing of publisher Meteor Entertainment, but its failure to set the world alight saw Meteor shut its doors in 2014. Hawken was eventually purchased by Reloaded Games in 2015.
