Dit weekend tijdens de inaugural MechCon, kondigde ontwikkelaar Piranha Games MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries aan.

“Our main goal with MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries is to provide fans with a standalone, story-driven single-player experience that allows for a great amount of flexibility in terms of player choice, built on a foundation of the intense, tactical mech combat the franchise is known for,” aldus Piranha president Russ Bullock.

MechWarrior 5 zal draaien op de Unreal Engine 4 en is de eerste single-player Mechwarrior sinds MW4: Vengeance in 2000. Piranha mikt op een release van 2018.
