The game should be officially announced in the second half of 2023.
During NoGutsNoGalaxy's podcast, Piranha Games president Russ Bullock unveiled that the studio is working on a new standalone MechWarrior game.
Bullock shared that it won't be a sequel to MechWarrior Online but a game "more in line with MechWarrior 5".
"Everyone knows we have DLC 4 coming out for MechWarrior 5, and there is another MechWarrior game in development at Piranha," he revealed (via VGC). "It’s not MechWarrior Online 2, it’s not the successor to MechWarrior Online, it’s not an online PvP [game]. Think of it more in line with MechWarrior 5, but a standalone game, a standalone product."
He also mentioned that the game "follows more of a single-player co-op type of pathway, kind of building off that whole technology base".
As for when we'll hear more about it, Bullock said the announcement will be coming "somewhere in 2023, maybe even as late as the fall". The title will be available on both PC and consoles.
MechWarrior is a series of mecha games set in the universe of BattleTech. The last game in the franchise developed by Piranha Games is MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries, which came out in 2019.
