by Rainier on March 27, 2018 @ 4:05 p.m. PDT

Steeped in the feudal political intrigue of the BattleTech universe, the game will feature an open-ended Mercenaries-style campaign that blends RPG, Mech and MechWarrior management with modern turn-based tactics.

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.

BattleTech, the first turn-based tactical ‘Mech combat PC game in over 20 years, will be available on April 24, 2018.

“The entire team at Harebrained Schemes has been eagerly awaiting the day we deliver BattleTech to long time fans and introduce the joy of tactical ‘Mech combat and deadly interstellar politics to new ones,” said Jordan Weisman, CEO of Harebrained Schemes and creator the MechWarrior and BattleTech universe. “We’re massively thankful to our Kickstarter backers and fans of the MechWarrior legacy. Without their patience, dedication and support, this modern turn-based BattleTech wouldn’t soon be launching on PC and Mac.”

Pre-orders BattleTech, $39.99 for standard edition while the Digital Deluxe Edition is $49.99 (includes game, Artbook, Wallpapers, Soundtrack, and Forum Icon & Avatar).

Pre-purchase receive the BattleTech: Shadowhawk Pack which includes an alternate skin for the formidable Shadowhawk 'Mech plus an exclusive wallpaper, to be delivered at launch.

BattleTech will be available on April 24, 2018 for Windows PC and Mac.
