Mech Arena Launches New Season “Hunting Drive” with New Mech, Weapon, and Major Player Rewards

Players Can Secure Legendary Pilot Acantha Via 21-day Loyalty Program

TEL AVIV, Israel – March 6, 2026 – Plarium, a global leader in developing F2P mobile and PC games, announced its popular multiplayer mech shooter Mech Arena is launching its latest competitive season “Hunting Drive”. Beginning today through June 4th, the new season offers players an action-packed update headlined by a new mech and weapon, limited-time Derby and Mega Crate Rush events, exclusive skins, and a 21-day loyalty program to secure Legendary Pilot Acantha.

The all-new Citadel mech and Compound Beam weapon will be available at season start, delivering powerful new tactical possibilities and redefining battlefield strategy. Players can jump straight into the action through a limited-time PvE trial event to test-pilot Citadel firsthand, while earning a Crate Rush Event Token for a chance to permanently unlock the mech. Throughout the season, additional promo codes will be released, rewarding players with free in-game items and bonus loot to enhance their arsenal.

“With the Hunting Drive, we wanted to create a season that truly rewards the skill, experimentation, and dedication our fans appreciate, and that vision is reflected in the events we’ve designed and the capabilities of the new weapon and mech,” said Vadym Syvolap, Mech Arena Game Director at Plarium. “But we didn’t just add new content. We also revisited existing gameplay systems, including updating stat modifiers to make them more dynamic than ever and improving the Battle Passes with top-tier rewards offered at more frequent intervals. For veterans, it’s a great time to revisit strategies, and for new players, it’s the perfect moment to jump in."

Other season highlights include:

• Acantha Loyalty Program: Players who check-in for 21 days over the course of the season will earn milestone prizes and bonus rewards on their way to the free Legendary Pilot Acantha.
• Seasonal Offers & Exclusive Skins: Players can access season exclusive offers, including limited-edition skins and customization items.
• Themed Derby and Crate Rush Events: Players will experience a full slate of rotating events designed to keep competition fresh and rewarding throughout the season. Players can take part in themed Derby, and Mega Crate Rush, and Playoff Events to earn high-value rewards.

Mech Arena is available to download on iOS and Android mobile devices, as well as PC through the Microsoft Store, or the Plarium Play platform.
