Mechabellum News

Greetings commanders,

2024 is coming to a close and it has been an incredible journey for Mechabellum and we are happy and proud to have shared it with you the players.

With the holidays coming soon, the 2024 Steam Awards are just around the corner and we think Mechabellum could have a nomination and who knows, maybe an award! This could have a great impact on the game and bring many new players to the game.

And that is where you come in Commanders!
If you want to help Mechabellum be nominated we would like you to nominate it in the “Best Game You Suck At” category. It is the category we think we have the best shot at. Even if we all know you don’t suck at Mechabellum at all !!

Whatever the results, Mechabellum is full steam forward. Season 2 will be coming soon and will pack many new things you’ll be happy to discover after the holidays!

Thanks for your help and for playing our game.
See you on the Battlefield,

The Mechabellum Team
