HAWKED was announced back in November 2022 as a free-to-play shooter title for PC and consoles. Since then, the game has undergone several alpha tests and is currently in an open beta. If you are wondering when HAWKED, the unique PvPvE title will release, here’s everything we know about it.

What is the release date for HAWKED?

HAWKED was announced along with a closed alpha test in November 2022. At the time, the developer had said that the game would enter Early Access on PC in early 2023. This would be available to players who buy a Renegade Pack, which are in-game bundles containing content.

However, since then, there has been no news about Early Access. HAWKED received another update in February 2023 and is currently in an Open Beta which is live until Aug. 17.

Slight delays in the game’s release schedule aren’t a big deal. With the open beta of HAWKED currently underway, it’s likely that a global release isn’t that far either. The developer hasn’t addressed the global release yet, but the game feels really complete at its current stage of development.

Likely, the developer will announce something towards the end of the ongoing open beta. Fans can expect the game to be available widely later in 2023.

What is HAWKED?

A quick look at the trailer for HAWKED shows that the game design and art resemble Fortnite. Despite this, the game has a different concept.

In this extraction shooter, players drop into X-Isle, which is touted as a “mysterious island” crawling with monsters. Players need to fight monsters and other enemies and get to the escape zone. First, you need to gather supplies to take on enemies in the map. The environment features a hybrid environment consisting of mountains, jungles, and temples for players to explore.

The map is also filled with puzzles and traps, which players can complete to get treasure and other items.
