If you were looking forward to the release of MechWarrior 5 Mercenaries this year December we have some saddening news: the title has been delayed to 2019. Piranha Games president Russ Bullock issued a statement stating that the delay was done in order to deliver the “best product possible.”
“As everyone knows, this is the first single-player experience Mechwarrior title released since 2002 and we are well aware of the responsibility and great opportunity we have in re-introducing Mechwarrior to the world.
“At this time we’re only prepared to announce a slip into 2019 and would like to give ourselves until MechCon this December 1 in Vancouver to determine and announce the specific launch date in 2019 so that we can be as accurate with our estimations as possible and avoid further delays. Although undoubtedly many Mechwarrior fans will initially be disappointed by the longer wait, we also feel confident and assured that we will get 100 percent support from Mechwarrior fans to release the best product possible.”
MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries is set to release on PC only in 2019.
