The delayed release seems to be working in Piranha Games’ favor because I walked away really impressed with what I played of MechWarrior 5 yesterday.
MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries just looks better and better every time I see it, so I’m real interested in checking it out next year when it releases on September 10,2019. MechWarrior 5 was supposed to launch this December but was delayed, but Piranha Games president Russ Bullock just announced the new release date during MechCon, where thousands of robot fans pour into Vancouver to celebrate all things BattleTech. To accompany the announcement, Piranha Games revealed an explosive new trailer to showcase some classic mech on mech action.
It’s looking good, and it’s playing really good too. Yesterday I got a chance to go hands on with a co-op demo of MechWarrior 5, with me and three teammates each playing in our own custom-built “mech pods” complete with HOTAS joysticks, Buttkicker rumble chairs, surround sound, and gorgeous 4K screens.
