Irvine, CA – March 12, 2026 – Dreamhaven™ and development partner Game River™ today launched Mechabellum™ Season 7 and revealed that the tactical auto-battler is now available on macOS. Season 7 introduces a powerful new unit, Vortex, and a new Anomaly: Vortex Surge. Mac users can purchase Mechabellum now for $14.99 on Steam and enjoy full crossplay compatibility with PC users.
Watch the Season 7 trailer on the official Mechabellum YouTube channel.
“For Season 7 of Mechabellum, we wanted to introduce something that would allow players to adapt their strategy,” said Wen Youge, CEO and founder of Game River. “With Vortex, we thought a crab that shoots lightning, creates shields, and can be deployed at low cost, would be a fun and interesting way to evolve gameplay. And now with the native macOS client, even more players can enjoy the excitement of Season 7.”
Mechabellum Season 7 features:
- NEW UNIT – VORTEX – A formidable addition to the battlefield, Vortex expands strategic possibilities with its electromagnetic attacks. When upgraded, Vortex grants allied units various buffs, including area attack modifiers and shields.
- NEW ANOMALY – VORTEX SURGE – Players start each match with 2 Vortex units.
- NATIVE MAC SUPPORT – Mechabellum is now fully playable on macOS, making it one of the most in-depth auto-battlers available on the platform.
- FULL CROSS-PLAY FUNCTIONALITY – macOS and PC players share the same servers and matchmaking pool, ensuring seamless competitive play across platforms.
- ALL CONTENT AVAILABLE DAY ONE – macOS players gain immediate access to the complete Mechabellum experience, including Season 7 content and ongoing live updates.
Inspired by classic real-time strategy games, Mechabellum tasks players with commanding massive mech armies to defeat tens of thousands of opponents across the globe. Select from an extensive array of battle-ready units equipped with distinct capabilities and tactical advantages. Customize your army composition, position forces strategically, and anticipate—or counter—your opponent’s moves. Victory depends on adaptability, foresight, and outmaneuvering the opposition as hundreds of units clash on screen in spectacular large-scale battles.
