Step aside, FromSoftware - there's a new mecha game in town other than Armored Core 6, and it's proving to be a hit already.

Following its three-day open beta period, Mecha Break has managed to pull almost 3 million players and was wishlisted on Steam by a whopping 1 million excited fans. Featuring an extensive character creator, diverse mechs, explosive combat, and heart-pounding fast-paced online multiplayer gameplay, it's no wonder that the upcoming sci-fi gem is already so popular pre-release.

In a post commemorating the open beat's success, Mecha Break developer Amazing Seasun Games reveals the impressive player stats: "We are happy to share that we are already over 1 million wishlists on Steam and have a worldwide registration of almost 2.8 million!" The studio thanks fans for their helpful feedback, promising "even better content and gameplay experiences in the future."

Comments showcase players' thoughts on Mecha Break so far, with many expressing how they're looking forward to the full game. Others outright beg for some more time in-game: "Please. I need more. I'm already addicted to mecha combat in this game." Overall, it feels genuinely difficult to locate any criticism or negative responses amid peoples' replies to the studio's celebratory post.

There's no telling whether there'll be another beta period ahead of the full launch date, which has yet to be announced, but considering the open test period's success and fan feedback - one will hopefully pop up sometime soon with Mecha Break's release following later on. Those player numbers are nothing to scoff at - and after just a few days of an open beta test being available, too.
