Fans of the BattleTech universe will be happy to hear that Piranha Games is developing a new MechWarrior game. The popular action-oriented counterpart to the more strategic BattleTech is getting a new single player installment in the near future.
Speaking on the podcast, No Guts No Galaxy, Piranha Games president Russ Bullock disclosed that the new title will be a single-player standalone game, saying:
We're still working on MechWarrior, which has been somewhat surprising to me, that we've been able to work on it this long, which is great. Everyone knows we have DLC 4 coming out for MechWarrior 5, and there is another MechWarrior game in development at Piranha. It's not MechWarrior Online 2, it's not the successor to MechWarrior Online, it's not an online PvP [game]. Think of it more in line with MechWarrior 5, but a standalone game, a standalone product. So I guess that's an exclusive announcement for you but that's all I'll say for now.
Bullock made sure to bring up the fact that the game will be officially announced later this year.
It'll be announced later – don't know, if I had to guess it may even be until… oh, who knows. Somewhere in 2023. Maybe even as late as the fall, like September or something. So it'll be a while, you'll have to wait around to see what that is. But yeah, more in-line with a MechWarrior 5 type of experience, meaning it'll be a game that comes out on all the platforms, PC and console.
