The multiplayer shooter with extraction HAWKED will be released in Early Access on November 30 on PC via Steam and MY.GAMES Launcher, as announced by the publisher and developer MY.GAMES. The PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One versions will be available in early 2024.
“With HAWKED we want to have an open and interactive development process that puts community feedback at the center,” HAWKED executive producer Anty Duthie said in a press release. “After the positive feedback and excellent results from our Open Beta, we feel that Early Access is an important step on our path to launch. “We want to continue building to make HAWKED the most fun and accessible shooter on the market, and having our players be a part of this journey is an absolute joy.”
As an added incentive to join Early Access, MY.GAMES has launched the “Renegade Rally” campaign. Players who join during the rally will receive rewards and the chance to win special prizes, including a lifetime supply of premium currency. The more people who join, the better the rewards and prizes will be for the entire group.
HAWKED is an extraction shooter where teams of up to three players or individual players compete to collect and extract Artifacts from a remote island called X-Isle. Players, also known as Forsaken, compete against each other to secure and mine Artifacts that can only be reached by fighting monsters, other players, solving puzzles, and avoiding traps. The first team to successfully extract the Artifacts from the island wins the session.
HAWKED offers deep character customization. With a wide range of clothing pieces, hairstyles and colors to visually customize their characters, players can combine Artifacts, equipment and power-ups to create their ultimate treasure hunter and adjust their play style to their preference. Artifacts offer passive bonuses, such as the ability to turn into a bush when crouching or offering a sixth sense to nearby enemies.
HAWKED currently has 18 types of Artifacts. Players can match three at a time, and all Artifacts can be found and upgraded at multiple rarity levels. Gears and Artifacts are upgraded using currency collected from selling and/or dismantling treasures in the Riftwake, the social space of the game.
From stealth assassins to team-focused support, in HAWKED, players can bring their ideal Renegade to the island.
