Iron Rebellion, a VR mech sim love letter to Titanfall and Hawken, receives its last major update before entering full release.
Previously released in early access three years ago, Iron Rebellion is one step closer to ending its eight-year development cycle. Black Beach Studio’s Version 0.939 marks its biggest early access update to date. Six customizable classes are introduced, including three brand-new ones. Below is the gameplay trailer.
