MechWarrior 5's beefy story expansion is out, and it has the most videogame title I've ever had the pleasure to read
I love a clunky-ass videogame title. Some may argue that videogame names should be kept simple and punchy, like Doom or Quake or BioShock . I would counter that your videogame isn't truly a videogame unless the name has at least two punctuation marks in it. I'm talking Vampire: T

Greetings Warriors,
We are excited to announce the full release Date for MechWarrior 5: Clans - Ghost Bear: Flash Storm DLC! You will be able to purchase and play MechWarrior 5: Clans - Ghost Bear: Flash Storm
RELEASE DATE
May 7th at 5 PM PDT, 8 PM EDT.( May 8th 00:00 UTC)
We originally projected our release date to fall just inside the month of April, but we wanted a bit more time to deliver an exciting expansion that is worthy of Clan Ghost Bear name! We have locked in our release date to the beginning of May. The entire team is grateful to the fan response to the announcement and we look forward to watching you play and hearing your feedback
FREE UPDATE DETAILS
We also wanted to take this opportunity to give you more details on the Free Updates!
The Free updates section on the DLC PAGE was still a work in progress when we announced the DLC but now we have more Details on key updates.
On May 8th we’ll be delivering the second free update to MechWarrior 5: Clans featuring:
Mechlab Usability Overhaul

The flow and UI has been revised to make Omnipod swaps and unlocks much more intuitive. Players can clearly see which Omnipod sets are available and can mix and match Omnipod components to create all manner of custom builds. It’s also much easier to save out custom presets and restore them in a few clicks.
A context menu has been added that allows faster direct access to all areas of the mech lab such as Camo Customization, Weapon Groups, or Mech Details.
Players can now see more details such as stat changes for engine heatsinks.
Progression and Balance pass

We’ve rebalanced many of the weapons to make all the different builds more appealing and viable. We have also adjusted Smoke Jaguar progression to incorporate some of the omnipod and mech unlocks from Trials of War to better positions in the progression.
BattleGrid Improvements

Battlegrid operates in pause mode in Single Player mode. This allows players breathing time to administer more complex queued orders and makes issuing commands much easier. Pause mode can be toggled to real time with a button press.
More Gamepad Options

We’ve updated the control options for gamepad with a Mercenaries-like control scheme that no longer requires the use of a weapon toggle. It will appear in Gamepad options as ALT-Config 3. We’ve also added a bunch more re-bindable buttons to the CUSTOM layout so you can remap things like MASC to a face button.
Trials of War is now fully integrated

Trial of War is no longer treated as a free DLC and is fully integrated into the game for all players to enjoy.
Dominion Mode added to Arena. Get the highest score before time expires by capturing and holding the active capture point. Scannable stations can launch artillery strikes against the active capture point.
2 New Horde Mode Maps, Starport and Townships, with Light, Medium, Heavy ,and Assault Challenges
Option for Friendly Fire

Star mates do not cause friendly fire, but we have added an option that disables player driven damage to friendlies.
Performance and Stability

Improved performance and stability with many small bug fixes and optimizations.
COMMs Update

Pilots now have fully animated faces instead of helmets with mouth coverings.
Audio update

Rerecorded and upgraded banter dialog for Mia, Samantha, and Alexander. Added some additional SFX and adjusted mix.
Digital Extras

Digital Extras now features full video dioramas of 16 Omnimechs in the Technical Readout Section.
Graphics Options
We’ve added support for:

AMD FSR 3.1
DLSS 4
Intel XeSS
Early Access Modding

We will be starting the process of releasing the early access editor to a small group of modders to test out the modding pipeline on May 20, 2025. Full mod support is planned to come as soon as the editor is tested and deemed ready for release.
Notes on Ghost Bear Flash Storm DLC
Retroactive Content with Ghost Bear Purchase

As per usual Ghost Bear DLC will retroactively add content back into the Smoke Jaguar Campaign. If you purchase Ghost Bear Flash Storm you will have access to the 4 new Omnimechs and 4 new Battlemechs in the Smoke Jaguar Campaign as well as the new BattleMech Mechlab.
DLC SHARING

All coop players will be able to access all DLC owned by the host so everyone gets to play!
Thank you for purchasing and playing MechWarrior 5: Clans we look forward to sharing more information about Ghost Bear Flash Storm in April!
