This seems like a natural step for Kwok, as popular mecha franchises like <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/mecha-break-heres-how-and-why-the-gundam-reminiscent-sci-fi-shooter-is-exploding-in-popularity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gundam<\/a> and Macross (both of which Kwok loved as a child and inspired Mecha Break\u2019s creation) have also branched out into big transmedia projects&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201c<\/em><em>I want to develop Mecha Break in various ways as an IP in the future.

Also, I&#8217;m currently working on making figures.<\/em><em>\u201d<\/em><em><\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kwok\u2019s remarks on the Mecha Break trailers and figures are interesting. Mecha Break\u2019s trailers have an oddly cinematic flair to them, as though they are hinting at more story-driven content. The figures are intriguing for a different reason. Though the <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/mecha-break-devs-say-a-surprising-number-of-testers-spent-more-time-beautifying-their-mechs-than-battling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Striker mechas<\/a> are the stars of the show, the <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/mecha-break-producer-hints-at-new-mech-and-pilot-customization-options-explorable-space-stations-and-even-a-pilot-combat-mode\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pilot designs also have a great amount of detail<\/a>. It will be interesting to see how Mecha Break figures will reflect the wealth of customization options the game offers to players.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Mecha BREAK Season 0 &quot;Rain of Fire&quot; trailer.\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Kz2e0AOXxsA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Mecha Break\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/mecha-break-heres-how-and-why-the-gundam-reminiscent-sci-fi-shooter-is-exploding-in-popularity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">unique deathmatch and extraction modes<\/a> make it stand out from other mecha games, while its overarching storyline \u2013&nbsp;involving a rapidly spreading mineral called Corite \u2013&nbsp; provides some context as to why everyone is shooting each other in giant robots.
