It’s been just over a year since Heavy Metal Machines first launched, and now, developer Hoplon Infotainment has announced that servers for the free-to-play multiplayer vehicular combat game will close in August.Servers for Heavy Metal Machines will close on August 30th and considering the game is an online-only title, all ten Heavy Metal Machines achievements will be discontinued on that date. In a statment, Hoplon said, “It is with heavy hearts that we announce the ending of Heavy Metal Machine’s life cycle. HMM’s dedicated servers will be shutting down on the 30th of August, 2022. This means the game and all its related features will no longer be available, including all game modes, and the in-game Store. This applies to all platforms, including Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation.” Heavy Metal Machines launched in February 2021 to little fanfare. No reason was given for the server closure, though we expect it’s down to a dwindling player base. As of May 30th, Heavy Metal Machines’ virtual currency (Cash) packages will be removed from the game and won’t be available for purchase. All other game features will be available normally. You will have until the full server closure on August 30th to spend any in-game currency you have. Heavy Metal Machines achievements to be discontinuedThe entirety of the Heavy Metal Machines achievement list will be discontinued once the server closure hits on August 30th. Here are all the affected achievements: The Iron Man achievement in Heavy Metal Machines worth 222 pointsFinish a match with 0 deaths and at least 10 kills (Online Matchmaking only)From what we can tell, the game has already been delisted from the Microsoft Store, so unless you have previously claimed Heavy Metal Machines, you won’t be able to grab a completion here. For those that do already own the game, estimates suggest it will take between 25 and 30 hours to complete. Servers for Heavy Metal Machines will close on August 30th. Will you be returning to this one for the completion? Let us know down in the comments. Big thanks to Pris for the news tip.
