True to the tease earlier this 12 months, a brand new MechWarrior recreation is coming in 2024: MechWarrior 5: Clans will return the sci-fi universe of big stompy robots to maybe its most iconic interval, the invasion of the honor-bound warriors of the technologically superior Clans. The announcement of the brand new recreation is accompanied by a teaser trailer as a hulking, iconic MadCat mech drops right into a verdant jungle earlier than slicing away to a reference to the traditional MechWarrior 2 field artwork.
The story will comply with a contemporary new warrior in Clan Smoke Jaguar who instructions a Star formation of 5 mechs because the Clans invade the Inside Sphere—the setting and time interval simply earlier than MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries. Maybe most fascinating right here is that each Smoke Jaguar and their Draconis Mix enemies within the invasion are thought of a number of the greatest jerks in BattleTech lore. Particularly the Smoke Jaguars, who do not actually perceive what rebel warfare is. Put together to witness plenty of struggle crimes, in all probability.
MW5: Clans might be a standalone recreation, so you do not have to personal MechWarrior 5: mercenaries.
The screenshots on the Steam web page are a smorgasbord of cool mech stuff: A giant stompy MadCat mech in a dense jungle, a correct five-mech Broadsword dropship, and some pictures of a canyon-riddled desert world. Maybe coolest of all is a giant, sweeping panorama shot of a wrecked dropship. Particularly the long-lasting, beloved spherical Union-class dropship.
We have extra information on MechWarrior 5: Clans in a canopy story for an upcoming challenge of PC Gamer, if you happen to’re into that type of factor.
Yow will discover MechWarrior 5: Clans on Steam, the place it is slated to launch in 2024. I am fairly excited to get my palms on this come subsequent 12 months. It is a Batchall I dare not refuse. In the meantime, MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries has a last DLC coming later this month—The Dragon’s Gambit.
