Gets Robotic in “Steel Corps”: New Mech Expansion Mode, Maps, and Gear
En Masse Entertainment Releases New PC Content Update Unleashing Three Classes of Devastating Mechs Plus
9 New Maps

Mech Match modes. This powerful new PvP mode is accompanied by a whopping nine new maps for both PvP and PvE play,
all catering to the community of PC players enjoying this intense, over-the-top third person shooter.
The new ZMR

piloted in PvE maps. Each class includes two base models and two Limited Edition variants with explosive firepower and sweet
paint jobs! Light Mechs are fast, lightly-armored, close-range powersuits, while Medium Mechs are all-purpose killing machines
with solid armor and serious firepower. For players focused on raw power than mobility, Heavy Mechs are armored war machines
built to withstand concentrated damage while raining destruction down on the battlefield. Whichever class is chosen, players
can lay some mech-based smackdown in team battles for mechanized supremacy!
The update’s nine new maps span
levels designed for mechs, new PvE battlegrounds, and PvP maps. From the port-based “Pier Pressure” to “Chopping
Mall”, a map that is sure to bring a whole new meaning to Black Friday shopping mayhem, there’s something new
for every player in “Steel Corps”.
