Ten Square Games launches Medal Hunter phased mobile PvP shooter rollout

Ten Square Games has put Medal Hunter into its first technical release, and the pitch is clear: a mobile shooter built for players who are tired of long, sweaty matches and want quick competition with less downtime. The rollout started on 4 May in Mexico, Vietnam, the Philippines and Poland, with broader availability planned around the turn of May and June.

That timing matters because the company is using the regional phase to verify technical KPIs and performance stability before opening the floodgates. For a PvP shooter, that usually means more than server health. It is the moment when balance, retention and monetisation can still be tuned before a larger audience gets its hands on the game.

Medal Hunter is a sharp turn for a studio best known for hunting and fishing brands such as Fishing Clash, Hunting Clash, Trophy Hunter and Wings of Heroes. This time, Ten Square Games is leaning into a military theme built around historical events and real-world references, with architecture, weapons and locations meant to feel grounded rather than fantastical. The current build includes five playable locations inspired by specific historical periods, including battlefields tied to Warsaw, Gibraltar and Pearl Harbor.

The core loop looks built for short, repeatable sessions. Instead of a traditional elimination mode, matches are framed as a score chase across three-round competitive battles. Players take on moving target types such as aircraft and naval units, and the game listing also points to later combat involving armored vehicles and ground targets. On Google Play, Medal Hunter is marked Teen and listed with ads and in-app purchases.

That structure gives Medal Hunter a different appeal from the heavier mobile FPS names that dominate the genre. The selling point is not marathon lobbies or punishing tactical grinds. It is a fast, compact PvP format that can be finished in minutes, then restarted immediately. For players burned out on longer shooters, that lighter cadence may be the biggest reason to care.

The launch is also a test of whether Ten Square Games can move its audience beyond hobby-style collecting and hunting into action play without losing the studio’s knack for scale. Management has said Medal Hunter reached market in less than a year from the start of development, helped by a new model built on clear benchmarks and early validation. That model was shaped by Trophy Hunter, which Ten Square Games said became the third-largest group title by bookings in Q4 2025.

Ten Square Games has been treating Medal Hunter as more than a side project for months. In March, executives including Andrzej Ilczuk, Janusz Dziemidowicz and Magdalena Jurewicz were already discussing the game alongside two other prototypes. If the phased rollout holds up, Medal Hunter could become the company’s clearest attempt yet to turn a proven mobile portfolio into something faster, tougher and much more competitive.
