Great news for anyone who loved the smash hit mobile game Real Steel - on the 10th September the chart topping title will be free to download across iOS devices. And if that wasn't enough, this September the game will receive its biggest ever update.

With over 8 million downloads across all platforms already under its belt, the updated app is set to be bigger, better, and far more bad ass than its predecessor.

You’ll get to choose an avatar from a 45 strong selection of robots, including the classic movie champs Atom “Peoples Champion”, and Zeus “King of Robots”, and battle to the death in this futuristic, underground fighting contest.

But if you thought the game couldn’t get any better, then think again. In the updated version you can now battle your opponents in an intense 3v3 tag team match, customise your own fighter in the Build Your Own Robot (BYOR) feature, choose from multiple battle environments to fight in, and unlock 8 brand new robots on completion of each game mode.

But wait, there’s more. In an intense twist, you’ll be pushed to your limits in the new “ultimate test of skill based fighting” update, which ranks you based on a pro points system.

Rise through the ranks, making your way from a lowly amateur to the much coveted “Legend” grade by perfecting your offense, defence, and mastery skills, by battling other players from around the world. Just make sure you don’t get complacent, as you will be demoted if you lose in the pro levels.

So if you’re itching to kick some robot butt and think you could easily rival Charlie Kenton, then keep an eye out for the updated version of Real Steel and cement your “Legend” status.

Available now on iOS.
