War Robots, the popular 6v6 multiplayer shooter, will receive a substantial graphical update this Fall

War Robots has been an incredibly popular shooter with developer Pixonic Games reporting that it has been downloaded 150 million times since it launched 6 years ago. In that time it has aged a little though. This led to the developers been working on the War Robots Remastered update, which will release for both iOS and Android this Fall.

This will see the game given a complete visual makeover, including updated UI elements. You can check out its new look in the screenshots in this article. There's also a comparison to the original graphics so you can see the drastic level of change you can expect when the update drops later this year.

Each of the game's 58 robots and their weapons will have completely remastered animations, textures and geometry. Pixonic also says that over 100 VFX have also been modified to give War Robots its sleek, modernised look. Of course, it won't just be the robots you control in battle that have been given the remaster treatment.

Eight of the game's maps will have improved lighting, whilst four of them have been revamped completely. Those maps are Canyon, Valley, Moon, and Powerplant. To ensure that the game will remain playable for as many people as possible there will be four different graphics settings to choose from named Performance, Balanced, Quality, and Ultra.

To test that the game will still function as intended before the updated is made available, Pixonic will be holding multiple public tests between now and release. They will be announced through one of their many social media accounts, so be sure to follow those if you're interested in taking part.

The War Robots Remastered update will release on both the App Store and Google Play this Fall, or Autumn, whichever you prefer. Meanwhile, you can download the game and give it a try in its current form if you'd like to see what it's all about. It's a free-to-play game with in-app purchases.
