New MechWarrior Game Very Obviously Teased (Updated with More Videos) -ShackNews

A new MechWarrior game is under development by Piranha Games, according to a very short teaser trailer and unsubtle hints dropped by Voodoo Extreme. No other details are known, though the site suggest that a full trailer will be released later in the week.

Update: A few more videos have surfaced. Viewable below, the clips combine, like a Transformer, to provide a full look at what is undoubtedly a giant mechanical warrior.

Its about time, I only hope they keep the slower, sim-like mechanics of MechWarrior 3 in lieu of the faster-paced, arcade-syle MechWarrior 4. I enjoyed MW4 as well, don't get me wrong. I just chalk it up to personal preference.

Either way it looks like a new xbox/pc exclusive.

Microsoft owns the rights to BattleTech which is both mechWarrior and MechAssault games liscense. They also own Crimson skies, and shadow run, all games developed by fasa studios under Jordan Weisman. I don't understand how you can disagree with a Fact.

I am excited about this game but i would trade in every game i have for a new Steel Battalion game. Come on Capcom, i know you can do it, do it do it do it PLEASE!!!

to purchase a new controller for it...

[Man_of_the_year]

so very true. I paid $400 for my original controller with the game and then bought LoC. But i am willing to pay another $400 for a new SB game with controller. That was the ultimate Mech sim game ever created. Contoller had like 40 buttons and a button to wash the dirt off the monitor. Sweet.

I wish they would do another Mechassault game like Mechassault 1

This is great news for Mechwarrior enthusiasts everywhere, I spent much of the 90s playing Mechwarrior 2 and Mech 2 Mercenaries and enjoying it thoroughly as it provided an atmospheric and engaging simulation the likes of which has not been repeated for some time.

I have great hopes for this new title and that it will get the proper treatment it deserves. Ultimately all it needs is a PC release and some modding tools and the Mechwarrior community can do the rest in regards to performing future updates to the title.

The Mech in the videos looks like it is probably a WHM-6R or 7K Warhammer. I could only be positive by seeing the upper torso and shoulders though.
