BATTLETECH Launches Today
STOCKHOLM - April 24, in the year of our Lord 2018
- Paradox Interactive and Harebrained Schemes today announced
the release of BATTLETECH, the first turn-based tactical
BATTLETECH / MechWarrior PC game in over 20 years, made possible
by the support of 55,000+ Kickstarter backers. BATTLETECH is
available on PC and Mac for the suggested retail price of
$39.99, with Linux-support to be added post-launch. The game can
be purchased from Paradox Plaza, Steam, GOG, and other digital
retailers.
“There’s a lot of love for the BattleTech / MechWarrior
universe, and the entire Harebrained team feels incredibly
fortunate to have had the chance to work on a tactical combat
game worthy of its legacy,” said Jordan Weisman, CEO of
Harebrained Schemes and creator of the MechWarrior universe and
original BattleTech board game. “We hope that fans of the
universe and strategy gamers in general find as much fun and
excitement playing BATTLETECH as we found creating it.”
Developed by Harebrained Schemes, BATTLETECH is the next
generation of turn-based tactical ‘Mech combat. The year is 3025
and the galaxy is trapped in a cycle of perpetual war, fought by
noble houses with enormous, mechanized combat vehicles called
BattleMechs. Take command of your own mercenary outfit of 'Mechs
and the MechWarriors that pilot them, struggling to stay afloat
as you find yourself drawn into a brutal interstellar civil war.
Upgrade your starfaring base of operations, negotiate mercenary
contracts with feudal lords, repair, maintain, and customize
your stable of aging BattleMechs, all in the service of
executing devastating combat tactics to defeat your enemies on
the battlefield.
