MechWarrior: Difference between revisions

 

A game trailer was shown in 2009 for a reboot of the series for the 5th game, in the vein of the first 4 games, set in 3015, but as time went on, the IP rights holder and game developers couldn't find a publisher for such a game and have since retooled the game into a free-to-play MMO: '''''MechWarrior: Online.''''' Initially taking place in the year 3049 (before the Clan invasion era) that will allegedly update storyline-wise each day after the the currently set August 1 2012 release date (which will be August 1st, 3049 in game universe, meaning that the Clan invasion will not happen yet and Clan mechs will not be initially available).

Also of note is ''[[Mech Assault]]'', a [[Third-Person Shooter]] series set in the same universe, and ''Multiplayer Battletech: Solaris'' and ''Multiplayer Battletech 3025'', which were online multiplayer takes on the ''MechWarrior'' formula before ''NetMech'' (''<nowiki>MW2:31stCC</nowiki>''), ''MercNet'' (''<nowiki>MW2:Mercs</nowiki>'') and such became popular. Unfortunately, both titles have been entirely [[Lost Forever]] for years.
