MechWarrior 5 Mercenaries is a sprawling, large-scale robot shooter beloved by acolytes of the classic PC series. But developer Piranha wants to try something different. Beginning all the way back in 1989, MechWarrior has expanded into a huge variety of games and movies, all beginning with the original pen-and-paper classic. Amidst all this high-tech lore, one group has been missing. Last seen in 1995's MechWarrior 2, the iconic Clans - one of the many factions embroiled in the seemingly endless galactic war - have since been AWOL. Shared exclusively with PCGamesN at GDC, a new MechWarrior game, with a dedicated campaign focus, is finally bringing the Clans back to the forefront, and serves a superb entry point for anyone so far unfamiliar with the robotic squad shooter.
