The official Mechwarrior 5: Clans release date is on October 17, this Thursday. That is shaping up to be a big day for gaming with multiple releases. It is currently a work in progress, but the development team is supremely confident that everything will be finalized by then. There is no early access as a result since they’re coming right up to the deadline to get it all packaged properly for gamers.
The game is available on several different platforms. PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, and Microsoft Windows will all get versions of the game. It can be found on those console stores as well as on Steam. Many modern games are quickly leaving last-gen consoles behind and making games that only run on current-gen gaming platforms, like Dragon Ball Sparking! ZERO and others. However, the latest Mechwarrior game is not going that route. They’re still making the game for PS4 and Xbox One, even if both are quite old at this point.
The gameplay trailer from Gamescom sets the game up as a potential political action thriller, as it initially asks gamers how much they’re willing to give to take down tyranny. It shows the different user interfaces with mechs and other gameplay being featured throughout. Despite this being a limited look, there appears to be plenty of content in this game. The graphics and everything are up to date thanks to its use of Unreal Engine 5.
Mechwarrior 5: Clans is an exciting game. It comes from developer Piranha Games, who is also publishing the title. It is considered a shooter, simulation, adventure, and strategy game, so there’s plenty to like for a lot of people. This is the fifth game in the long-running franchise, which began in 1989. Mechwarrior 5 is a brand-new single-player and co-op campaign-based game. The synopsis reads, “Take on the role of a newly graduated pilot from the Smoke Jaguar cadet program, thrust into the heart of the Clan Invasion of the Inner Sphere during Operation Revival.”
