Made in Unreal Engine 5 with a soundtrack by Noriyuki Iwadare, the composer behind the Grandia series, Project MBR will immerse players in a deep battle system where shooting alone won’t guarantee success.

Master each mech form to enhance your versatility and prove your worth. Annihilate enemy bases like radar facilities, fixed artillery points and other stations scattered across the battlefield, while defending your own. Operators must plan to overwhelm defenses and eliminate each of these stations to complete their mission. Thankfully, they’ll be able to command drone companions and change their behavior according to situational analysis. SIEG Games is also considering mech customization via weapon combinations, which will greatly expand the range of tactics players will be able to deploy in combat.

Mech operators will be able to alternate between tank, flight and turret forms as they maneuver across a realistic universe set roughly 30 years into the future. Mastering each form will be key to victory, as each will confer unique advantages and disadvantages in combat. 

Project MBR will offer a refreshing new take on the mech genre by allowing players to pilot massive war machines from a cockpit perspective. Two teams of five operators must alternate between tank, flight and turret forms in order to defeat their adversaries and fulfill mission objectives in a believable, futuristic universe.

Developer SIEG Games, founded by Grandia, GunGriffon and Lunar series producer Yoichi Miyaji, has announced that the Project MBR Kickstarter campaign is live, looking to raise $180K in an effort to bring its vision of mech-sized functional beauty to life.

“Project MBR is the brainchild of the mech genre’s most venerated creators, including GunGriffon’s Ryuji Inomata, Armored Trooper Votoms and Mobile Suit Gundam MS IGLOO’s Koichi Inoue, and the Grandia and Lunar series’ Noriyuki Iwadare,” says Yoichi Miyaji, CEO at SIEG Games. “We’ve assembled a dream team committed to pushing the concept of mech shooters further without nickeling and diming our community in the process. We can’t wait to bring this universe to life through your support, and look forward to working alongside you as Project MBR takes off.”

Absolutely no loot boxes or other F2P elements will be included in the final version of the game. Rather, development will be entirely influenced via feedback from the community. SIEG Games is committed to regularly update battlefields, mechs and other core components to sustain player enjoyment well past Project MBR’s final release.

Project MBR is in development for PC (Steam) and PlayStation 5, scheduled for release in Spring 2024.
