Pilots suiting up for something a little more intense than Next Fests array of cute indie experiences will find themselves wrapped in chrome and wielding the latest fictional weaponry. Giant humanoid forms, robotic big cats, and tracked demons dominate a range of scarred backdrops where it’s not just the local NPCs that want you dead.

Big robots, lasers, missiles power swords, and huge miniguns. What’s not to love.
Fight Big, Win Big
While playing the latest build and the newest content from the comfort of your own command capsule is enough to tempt plenty of us into the fight, Wargaming has also put some prizes on the line. The Clutch Performance event will run alongside the playtest, and there’s loot. The top 10 players on the daily leaderboard will win Steam gift cards and exclusive physical merchandise, while all players will have the opportunity to compete for a unique permanent Trenchwalker skin.
