![]() ![]() For an exclusively multiplayer title it just wasn’t able to get the audience in needed.Hoplon outlined their plans for the future of the game in a post from December of 2021. ![]() Although it saw a bit of a resurgence in 2020, active player counts on Steam have been below 50 daily players for nearly the last year. Despite supporting Heavy Metal Machines for over seven years, the game saw its all-time peak of 442 players way back in 2017. On the social side of things, the game’s Discord server will remain open for the time being and the team will host one final developer livestream on Thursday, May 5th.īased on the game’s SteamDB charts, it’s easy to guess one reason behind their decision. As noted by, this will make the game’s full set of Achievements/Trophies unobtainable. The post contains several FAQ questions about in-game rewards and unlocks as well as confirming that after August 30th, Heavy Metal Machines will be fully offline and unplayable. May HMM live on in our hearts and minds! See you in the Arenas until August 30th! We truly appreciate all the love we have seen for this game. We would like to extend a big THANK YOU to all the Metal Gladiators that have been a part of the HMM family over the years. We feel we have accomplished our vision of bringing a really unique experience within the MOBA genre. The Hoplon team has put a lot of work and passion into HMM, and we are very proud of what the game has become and the community we have nurtured. All other game features will be available normally, including the in-game Store where players will be able to spend their Virtual currency (Cash).ģ0th of August, 2022: Dedicated servers shut down, Heavy Metal Machines no longer available, in-game Store no longer available.ĭiscontinuing HMM was a difficult decision. ![]() Here’s a timeline of the planned server shutdownģ0th of May, 2022: Virtual currency (Cash) packages removed from Heavy Metal Machines and will no longer be available for purchase.

The team’s announcement from May 3rd follows: That’s just barely over a year and half on sale. The game has been on Steam through betas and Early Access as far back as 2015 but only launched on PlayStation and Xbox consoles in February of 2021. While the game remains playable for existing owners it appears that it was removed from digital stores as early as this morning. If someone picks a vehicle that you want to use before you, then it's good to have another class vehicle ready for you to work on as back up.The team at Hoplon announced on Tuesday that Heavy Metal Machines will be shut down on all platforms on August 30th, 2022. The best thing you can do is to decide on one vehicle from each class you like to use (from the auto rotation), or you look the look of (from seeing other people use them or the description of the what each vehicle does, which you can view in game on the store), or buy it from the store with fame and stick with using that vehicle until you reach the wins needed. You can buy the metal pass and you get a lot more fame and rewards, you can also buy boosters to get xp faster, but if you don't want pay for anything then obviously it will take you longer. The best way to earn fame is by completing missions within a season to collect the in season rewards, otherwise it is quite hard to get fame, you don't get much from matches. A select number of vehicles are auto rotated weekly when the missions are reset, so you won't be able to use them all the time, the other thing to note is that only one person can use a particular vehicle per team. Unless you have unlocked the vehicle with fame you will not have permanent access to the vehicle. To get this achievement you will need to win 22 matches with one vehicle to reach level 5 within that role. ![]()
