So i know there is only a few people who know what i am talking about, but that is why I wanted to spread the word.
Hawken’s official Facebook:
Just to confirm, yes, Hawken is here to stay. I haven’t been able to say anything until just this afternoon, but here’s a checklist of things we’ll be working on: Fix password reset
Get Forums working again
Fix more deployment stuff
Fix a bunch of tools systems
Play Hawken
Fix more back end systems
Play more Hawken and get rolled by the good players
Fix Fix Fix (yeah, lots of this)
Plan new updates and future changes -capnjosh
I’m very excited that this game is still a thing, and when the next update happens, i’ll dive back in. For those that haven’t played, the servers never went down, but it’s all pro’s by now… so getting into it can be tough. this is the game i bought my PC for and i played the shit out of it. if anybody ever wants to play or has questions, feel free to ask.
I’ve played it on PC a couple of times. Is it on psn?
no PC only. the Devs went quiet like 8 months ago, and then a few months later the official forums went offline, so eveyone thought the game was dead. game was supposed to have updates once a month and obviously those stopped, but i guess the game is not dead. if i had to guess, another company bought the dev team and IP so everything was stalled.

seems i was correct, Hawken bought by Reloaded Games, Inc. Seems the old dev team ran outta money, sold the prop to somebody, maybe Meteor, and that didnt go well. RG was looking at the numbers and seems they were wasting 60% of their money.
The plan for them is as follows:
Fix password reset
Get Forums working again
Fix more deployment stuff
Fix a bunch of tools systems
Play Hawken
Fix more back end systems
Play more Hawken and get rolled by the good players

If anybody wants to play. I will play. this coming weekend they want to stress test their servers. Looking at the numbers, the community seems to be coming back.
