MechWarrior 5: Clans Stomping to PC, PlayStation and Xbox in 2024 from Piranha Games

Piranha Games revealed MechWarrior 5: Clans today, a new stand alone MechWarrior game coming to PC, Xbox and PlayStation consoles next year. MechWarrior 5: Clans, while retaining the MechWarrior 5 designation, represents a transformative step forward in the MechWarrior 5 franchise. MechWarrior 5: Clans linear campaign will be an evolution of gameplay and storytelling in the MechWarrior series, experienced from the perspective of Clan Smoke Jaguar in the pivotal conflict known as the Clan Invasion starting in the year 3050.

It was bound to happen, given how the timeline advancement worked in MW5:Mercs. The story covered the Third and Fourth Succession Wars (2866-3025 and 3028-3030), the typical starting point for Battletech before the lore, politics, and tech get too complicated. The Clan Invasion (3049-3052) is the most iconic part of the timeline, I think.

I live to talk about Battletech, so hmu if you’ve got questions!

Sarna.net is the very good wiki for the BT universe.

Naz,

Those Inner Sphere bastards have sat on their laurels for far too long!

Clan Wolf, let’s awoo!

Awoooooooooo! in yellow lasers

(Furries are canon in BattleTech, you’re welcome)

clay_pidgin,

They are indeed, to a degree, though it basically never comes up. There is an illustration of a Pleasure Circus in the A Time of War RPG companion book with a catgirl. I screenshotted my copy of the PDF here.

The mods are described on page 53, “functional tail and mobile ears”.
