MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries, release date on Xbox Series X | S, XOne, Steam and GOG

MechWarrior 5

MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries has an official release date on the Xbox Series X | S and Xbox One, as well as the Steam and GOG platforms: the game will be available starting May 27.

Available on Xbox Game Pass for PC since last May, MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries will soon make its debut also on Microsoft consoles.

That's not all: the launch of the game on Xbox, Steam and GOG will take place simultaneously with the publication of the first DLC, titled Heroes of the Inner Sphere, which will add more content to the experience.

MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries is the next installment in the MechWarrior series, developed by Piranha Games on PC.

The game is set in 3015, with humanity now on its way to interplanetary colonization in the part of space called the Inner Sphere, an area characterized by numerous wars over time, after the fall of the Star League, which led to the subdivision of space in five Successor States.

Also known as Great Houses, these factions have been at war for centuries and are now in the midst of the Third War of Succession, which has been going on for 150 years now.

The main weapons with which this war is fought are the BattleMechs, led by elite pilots called MechWarrior.

In MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries we find ourselves playing a novice pilot during the war, within a driving and combat system that mixes tactical and shooter elements, passing from third person, subjective and PvE to as for the Campaign, based on a career-style progression of the driver and guided by the player's choices.
