Led by Jordan Weisman, creator of BattleTech and MechWarrior, Mitch Gitelman, Producer of the MechCommander series, and Mike McCain, Creative Director of the Shadowrun series.

Set in the year 3025, the universe is trapped in a cycle of perpetual war, fought by militarized noble houses utilizing huge, mechanized combat vehicles called BattleMechs. Players will take command of their own Mercenary outfit, struggling to stay afloat as they find themselves drawn into a bloody interstellar civil war. BattleTech features explosive tactical `Mech combat, deep Mercenary management gameplay, a rewarding story campaign, and addictive PvP multiplayer.

BattleTech is a dynamic science fiction setting that spans centuries. It is also a shared universe that has evolved over 30 years, in tabletop miniatures games and sourcebooks, along with a series of over two hundred novels, comics, and dozens of computer games.

Flashpoint will be available in November 27, 2018, complete with three new ‘Mechs (including the highly anticipated Hatchetman), a challenging new mission type, and a new tropical biome, along with its featured namesake, Flashpoints. 

Flashpoints are high-stakes branching short stories, comprised of procedural mercenary missions linked together with new crew conversations, special events, critical choices, and valuable rewards. To ramp up the intensity, some Flashpoint stories will feature “Consecutive Deployments” in which players won’t be able to repair their ‘Mechs between missions.

Flashpoint is BattleTech's first expansion and will launch on November 27th for $19.99 MSRP, on Steam, GOG, and Paradox Plaza. Two new money-saving bundles are also available today - the BattleTech Season Pass and the BattleTech  Mercenary Collection, a super-deluxe edition. 

The new Season Pass includes all current game content, plus Flashpoint and the next two planned BattleTech Expansions, at a discounted price of $49.99 MSRP. In addition to Flashpoint, the Season Pass contains explosive metropolitan combat in the Urban Warfare expansion plus another unannounced expansion in the works for 2019. This week only, save an additional 20% off the Season Pass with a special launch discount.

The super-deluxe Mercenary Collection is the ultimate BattleTech bundle, including the Deluxe Digital Edition and the Season Pass, for access to all future expansions, in addition to all current game content. The Mercenary Collection is out now for $89.99 MSRP (a $20 savings over buying the individual products).
