The story-based MechWarrior game is slated for release sometime this year, and will be coming to PC and consoles.

Developer Piranha Games has released the first bit of gameplay footage for its upcoming mech-based tactical action game MechWarrior 5: Clans. The video, which you can check out below, shows off a minute’s worth of gameplay, while also giving us glimpses at the story.

Originally unveiled back in September 2023, MechWarrior 5: Clans is a new standalone game in the MechWarrior franchise. While not a full-fledged sequel, the game instead acts as a standalone title that makes use of its core gameplay to tell the story of Clan Smoke Jaguar. The game is set in the year 3050, during a conflict known as the Clan Invasion.

As you might notice from the video, MechWarrior 5: Clans has a larger emphasis on its story than MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries did. The story will have players hopping across a variety of planets, all featuring hand-crafted maps and missions. The game also features a new progression system, as well as new ally-directing tools for more tactical options.

MechWarrior 5: Clans will be coming to PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, and is slated for release sometime later this year.
