Hybrid Wars is locked, loaded, and ready to rekindle your love for chaotic shooters of the ‘90s. Extreme Developers and WG Labs bring you fast and furious action, vibrant open worlds to explore, challenging missions to put your mercenary skills to the test, and a small army of mechs for you to command.
Hybrid Wars is available in 2 editions: The Standard Edition priced at $17.99, includes the full game, and the character, Alex Carter, a mercenary from a long lineage of distinguished warriors who’s determined to continue his family’s legacy.
The Deluxe Edition is priced at $19.99 and includes the full game. On top of veteran merc Alex Carter, newcomer Jason Wood is ready for action. Jason’s a cybernetically enhanced super-soldier/stunt driver with a quirky little helper droid that’s ready to help him out of any tight scrape. The Deluxe Edition lands with the original Hybrid Wars soundtrack, a rocking blend of epic orchestral guitar work and futuristic synth melodies. Fans also receive the digital art book, where you can explore the history of Jason Wood, and discover the highly detailed world of Hybrid Wars.
Two character DLCs are set to deploy for Hybrid Wars in the coming months, opening up new ways to tackle single-player mode and team up with your brothers-in-arms in multiplayer. The first DLC character is Yana “Tesla” Radovich, a self-taught genius and one of the best hackers out there. She’ll be backed up by the high-level tech-espionage specialist Yoko Takano. Both DLCs will be released in autumn 2016, priced at $4.99 each.
If you want a discount on those aforementioned DLC packs, then the Hybrid Wars Season Pass is for you, retailing at $6.99. You can even enhance the Standard Edition to the Deluxe Edition at any time with the Upgrade DLC. However, if you truly wanted to be suited and booted for merc life, you can grab the Season Pass and the Deluxe Edition through a single gaming bundle for $24.99.
In the future, you can expect additional multiplayer modes in several free post-launch updates. There’s also a bonus for all Hybrid Wars owners that link their Wargaming.net Account: an additional hero, Ivan, as well as 3 days of Premium Account for Wargaming’s “World of…” series of games.
Hybrid Wars is available on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. It is being sold digitally through Steam and GOG.com.
