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.

The team’s announcement from May 3rd follows:
Though unconfirmed, this change seems to imply that Hoplon was preparing in late 2021 to shut down the game soon. They extended the current season “indefinitely”, returned all in-game items from previous seasons to the Store, reduced the price of real-money packages by 30% between January and February of 2022, and increased ‘Fame’ experience payouts by 500% to aid in unlocking extra content. Previous to this, Hoplon outlined their plans for the future of the game in a post from December of 2021. It appears the game was then removed from digital stores as early as the morning of May 4th.
The team at Hoplon announced on May 3rd, 2022 that Heavy Metal Machines would be shut down on all platforms on August 30th, 2022. Heavy Metal Machines homepage PlayStation Blog post SteamDB page page
