MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries Announced

Wow, we are actually getting a new MechWarrior game in 2018. I like how MechWarrior 4 came out in 2000. …what we do know is that MechWarrior 5 is a completely standalone singleplayer game being developed by Piranha Games using a separate team than the one currently supporting MechWarrior Online, its multiplayer-only CryEngine game that went into open beta in 2012. MechWarrior 5 will feature "intense PvE 'Mech combat in an immersive, career-based Mercenary campaign driven by player choice." If you're not too familiar with the series, MechWarrior is the tactical FPS offshoot of BattleTech, where players pilot a single BattleMech and issue orders to squads (called 'lances') of AI-controlled allies.
