At GDC 2024, Pirahna Games unveiled MechWarrior 5: Clans, showcasing new footage of the game powered by Unreal Engine 5 and sharing exciting new details. This installment in the MechWarrior series will feature a Clan Invasion story, a throwback to MechWarrior 2 from 1995.
Throughout MechWarrior 5: Clans’ campaign, players will see their pilots grow in strength as they navigate various planets with different environments. The gameplay will offer a sandbox-style experience akin to Mercenaries. Players will follow a new pilot who has completed intense training on Huntress, the Smoke Jaguar clan’s homeworld. The pilot joins a Star, a squad of five pilots from the same clan, engaging in a monumental invasion of the Inner Sphere.
The game promises to immerse players in personal and military conflicts, filled with well-developed characters and moral dilemmas that will keep players on the edge of their seats. MechWarrior 5: Clans introduces Clan BattleMechs and Technology, offering a fresh and dynamic gameplay experience. The game emphasizes progression and customization, allowing players to fine-tune their ‘Mech loadouts through a revamped MechLab, Hardpoint, and OmniPod system. Adaptability is key in securing strategic victories on the ever-changing battlefield.
Scheduled for release on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S consoles with cross-play support later this year, MechWarrior 5: Clans is set to deliver thrilling mech combat in a rich and immersive storyline.
