Summary

In *MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries*, you'll step into the cockpit of a new MechWarrior pilot as you're thrown into the chaos of the ongoing Third Succession War, which is tearing the Inner Sphere apart. Accept missions from the factions of your choice and dive into strategic, first-person, PvE ‘Mech battles in a rich, career-driven Mercenary storyline shaped by your decisions. Achieving success, gaining recognition, and earning rewards will demand not only battlefield prowess but also the ability to secure, maintain, and upgrade your BattleMechs effectively. Scheduled to launch in 2018, *MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries* is being crafted by a committed team at Piranha Games. Meanwhile, *MechWarrior Online*, Piranha’s free-to-play multiplayer-focused tactical ‘Mech game, will keep receiving updates and new content from the MWO team at Piranha.

Storyline

It is the year 3015. Humanity has reached beyond Earth, spreading across the stars to settle a sprawling expanse of space called the Inner Sphere. Once governed by the Star League in a time of comparative peace, the region has since been torn apart by centuries of war, shifting loyalties, and treachery. This turmoil has fractured the Inner Sphere into five powerful Successor States—also known as the Great Houses—each vying for dominance over the ruins of the Star League and the control of the Inner Sphere itself. They now find themselves locked in the Third Succession War, a brutal conflict that has raged for nearly 150 years. Amid the chaos and destruction that mark the battlefields of the Inner Sphere, one weapon stands above all others: the BattleMech. These towering war machines, operated by skilled warriors known as MechWarriors, shape the future of warfare with their overwhelming firepower, capable of reducing entire cities to rubble.
