Hello Heavy Metal Machines Community,

It’s been a while since you all have heard any information on the game, and we wanted to share an update on what’s been happening. Many you may not be aware that Forthright Entertainment acquired Heavy Metal Machines last year. In January, we secured a significant investment, with a large portion dedicated to relaunching Heavy Metal Machines. This deal took over 14 months to finalize.
Unfortunately, at the end of March, the investing group failed to deliver their first promised payment, and by May, they missed the next one. The CEO, with whom we worked closely over the past year to put this deal together, was terminated by the board, and the group has since refused to fulfill their payment obligations.
While I can't go into all the legal details, please know that we still have a deep passion for Heavy Metal Machines and firmly believe in its community and potential. I understand this may not be the news you were hoping for, and believe me, we are just as frustrated by this situation.
That being said, we are actively seeking additional investment and have begun gaining traction. Once we received clearance from our legal team, we wanted to provide this update because you all deserve transparency.
The game is not dead—we remain fully committed to it, and we will keep you informed as soon as we have positive news to share.


That being said, we understand that many of you miss the game, like we do, and we wanted to offer you all something for your patience. If you have Heavy Metal Machines in your Steam library, we are offering you all an amazing free package in another Free-to-play title that we publish, Maelstrom, a naval royale and co-op game.
For all HMM players, the first time you play Maelstrom, you will receive the current Season Pass (that runs till the end of the year, 2,000,000 In game gold, and 1000 Gunpowder, a $35.00 value, as a token of appreciation. Every Tuesday from 7pm EST - Till Midnight, is community game night, a great time to hop in and learn.

We appreciate you all and promise to update you as soon as there is new information on Heavy Metal Machines!


Sincerely,
Forthright Entertainment Team
