Hawken, the free-to-play PC mech shooter has been in a bit of a pickle for some time now. The game was developed by Adhesive Games, who have been pretty quiet for the last few months. It seemed that support for Hawken was coming to an end, as password resets, forum functionality and game updates were completely stalled. So you can imagine our surprise when Joshua Clausen of Reloaded Games delivered the following announcement on Facebook:

“I’m pretty excited to *now* be able to announce that Reloaded Games is the new owner of Hawken .It’s a seriously great honor to be a part of the Hawken story, and I want to see it thrive .Once the forums are up we will post more information (they’ve been taking a lot longer than I was hoping).”

In a nutshell, Reloaded Games plan to:

• Fix password reset
• Fix more deployment stuff
• Fix a bunch of tool sytems
• Plan new updates and futuure changes
• Get forums working again
• Fix more backend systems

An interesting, if somewhat vague list. It seems that Hawken might live to shoot another day. And that can only be good for all of us, as nothing goes together quite as well as giant mechs and giant guns.
