Mecha BREAK is an upcoming mecha hero shooter by Amazing Seasun Games, a Chinese development studio known for MMO JX Online 3 and mobile shooter Snowbreak: Containment Zone. The title is available on PC through Steam and the Xbox app and will also release on Xbox consoles.

Mecha BREAK is currently in "Global Storm", an Open Beta phase. It features three distinct modes: PvPvE, 3v3 Deathmatch, and 6v6 objective-based team play. Users pick from mechs in several classes (Attacker, Defender, Support, Sniper and Brawler) and three specializations within each class (Light, Medium and Heavy). They can also precisely customize mech properties. The Global Storm Open Beta is publicly available for all players, and users can crossplay between platforms.

Though the title is still unreleased, Mecha BREAK is investing in an esports presence and has just announced its first international tournament. The Mecha BREAK Pre-Launch Invitational will occur in Zhuhai, China and feature teams from North America, China and Japan. The game's emerging talents will face off against each other on the world stage, and Mecha BREAK will have a chance to establish a place within the esports industry.

Uniquely, the tournament will operate before Mecha BREAK's official release, so all teams will utilize training from its Open Beta phase. All Pre-Launch Global Invitational games will be broadcast live through official channels. Mecha BREAK is also collaborating with Japanese rock band Man With A Mission to release a mecha-themed music video and celebrate the event.

According to @MechaBREAK on X.com, the Global Invitational matches will have unique mechanics, allowing teams to ban enemy mechs and restricting some customization:

• "Each squad will ban one mech per match, and banned mechs cannot be banned again for the rest of the tournament.
  
• Pilots can customize their mech configurations but cannot use modification parts."

Based on a related press release, it seems likely that Mecha BREAK could launch in the coming few weeks or months. Official communications refer to the Pre-Launch Global Invitational as the "first official esports tournament before the game’s launch this Spring." While the title's exact release date is still TBD, its Steam page also confirms Mecha BREAK will launch in 2025.
