Hello HMM Community. There is news coming in 2024. We can't say too much at this time, but there is the smell of burnt rubber, burning gas, and the clash of machine on machine that can't stay silenced forever.

Do you know who...

Dear Metal Gladiators,

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the ending of Heavy Metal Machine’s life cycle.

HMM’s dedicated servers will be shutting down on the 30th of August, 2022. This means the game and all its related features will no longer be available, including all game modes, and the in-game Store. This applies to all platforms, including Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation.

Here's a timeline of the planned server shutdown

• 30th of May, 2022: Virtual currency (Cash) packages removed from Heavy Metal Machines and will no longer be available for purchase. All other game features will be available normally, including the in-game Store where players will be able to spend their Virtual Currency (Cash).
  
• 30th of August, 2022: Dedicated servers shut down, Heavy Metal Machines no longer available, in-game Store no longer available.

What will happen with the current Ranked Season and my rewards?

• We will send out the Ranked rewards one level above your current level within the upcoming days. This means if you are currently Bronze, you will be able to claim the Silver rewards for example.
  
• You will have the choice of any Ranked prize from any previous Season. This will give you the opportunity to enjoy the rewards in-game until the servers are shut down.
  
• To choose and claim your Ranked rewards click on the following link: https://forms.gle/zSNa1sW94KtJnHRQ9
  
• Players who do not choose and claim their Ranked rewards until the 30th of May, 2022 will automatically receive last Season’s rewards (Dirt Devil).
  
• Ranked Season will continue until the 30th of August, 2022 - but no additional prizes will be sent out.

Can I still play Heavy Metal Machines after the 30th of August, 2022?

• No, since HMM is a game running 100% online, HMM will not be available to play after the dedicated servers shut down.

What will happen to the content I paid for?

• If you are currently in possession of in-game currency (Cash), make sure to spend it until the 30th of August, 2022, as the Store will not be accessible anymore after that date.

What about my in-game Items?

• Unfortunately, you will not be able to access these items after 30th of August, 2022, since the game won’t be available.

What will happen to the Discord Server?

• After 30th of August, 2022, our Discord Server will stay open, in order to give you a space to meet up and communicate with each other in the future. All channels, except #global-off-topic, will be removed and there will be no more moderation from our team.
  
• Until 30th of August, 2022, our Discord Server will be available normally.

What will happen with the weekly live streams?

• We will have our last HMM live stream (hosted by Batata) next Thursday, May 5th, in order for him to be able to attend to other internal projects.

Please review our {LINK REMOVED}EULA for a complete overview of the terms and conditions of Heavy Metal Machines. If you should have any further questions regarding any of this you can email us at community@heavymetalmachines.com or talk to us on Discord.

Discontinuing HMM was a difficult decision. The Hoplon team has put a lot of work and passion into HMM, and we are very proud of what the game has become and the community we have nurtured. We feel we have accomplished our vision of bringing a really unique experience within the MOBA genre.

We would like to extend a big THANK YOU to all the Metal Gladiators that have been a part of the HMM family over the years. We truly appreciate all the love we have seen for this game. May HMM live on in our hearts and minds!

See you in the Arenas until August 30th!

Hello Metal Gladiators,

The year 2021 is slowly coming to an end and we would like to take the opportunity to thank you all for the continued support and dedication you show to HMM!

We would also like to inform you that the current Metal Pass Season will be extended indefinitely, and we will make all Models, Emotes, Effects, and Sprays (except some event or exclusive items) from the previous Seasons available in the Store, starting on the 12th of January 2022. This will allow you to get the items you always wanted, and some of them will be available for Fame.

In addition, we will reduce the price for Cash packages from January 12th 2022 to February 12th 2022 by 30% giving you more bang for your buck.

Furthermore, we will give players 500% more Fame for Casual Matches to make sure the game remains free-to-play and it allows you to unlock Machines as you progress.

In case you have any questions concerning these changes do not hesitate to reach out to our Community Managers on our official Discord server[discord.com].

See you in the Arena!

Heavy Metal Machines Team

To our esteemed Heavy Metal Machines Community,

It is with a heavy heart and at the same time with a huge feeling of gratitude to our Community that we announce that Heavy Metal Machines will no longer have content updates such as Arenas, Characters, and other features. Tournaments such as Metal League and Metal Clash will also be discontinued.

Heavy Metal Machines is a big project that has brought us many challenges and pride throughout its development since 2015. But every game has a cycle, and after six years of entire focus, the HMM development cycle has reached its end. Throughout our journey, we brought many gameplay improvements, visual redesign, new Arenas and Characters, Metal Pass, Training Mode, moved from Leaderboard to Ranked Mode, created the Teammates Finder feature, launched the Metal League, Metal Clash, Colosseum, in addition to all publishing initiatives, culminating with the release for consoles earlier this year, where we reached a record volume of players, improving matchmaking and bringing us much joy.

Heavy Metal Machines servers will continue to operate normally. We will also have the release of Metal Passes, Ranked Mode Seasons, Colosseum, as well as support for Community Tournaments.

We want to extend a big THANK YOU to all Metal Gladiators who support Heavy Metal Machines on a daily basis. Your dedication made it much harder for us to move forward with this decision. We sincerely appreciate the involvement and love you show for the game.

Finally, we thank our amazing team, who, through hard work and talent, have produced a game as unique as HMM. As for the future, the Hoplon team will concentrate efforts on other projects that are yet to be announced.

Thank you very much!

Hoplon
