MechWarrior Online release date confirmed

4 July 2013

Piranha Games has announced that the robo-smash-a-thon that is MechWarrior Online will release on 17 September 2013.

The release will be a welcomed phase to the long-running beta, which will also introduce a number of new mechs into the game.

The game’s beta has accumulated some pretty interesting stats, such as the annihilation of more than 46,941,487 mechs, 9.6 million hours of playtime, and 3 billion tons of metal destroyed on the battlefield.

MechWarrior Online is set in the year 3050 during an interstellar war, where combatants need to utilise giant mechanical suits in order to fight for survival. Players can customise their mechs with new systems, armour and weapons.

MechWarrior Online is also free-to-play. The MYGaming lance has already formed and you can join the mechanised mayhem crew over on the forum: Official MechWarrior Online Thread
