'MechWarrior 5: Clans' Embraces Cinematic Campaign and Unreal Engine 5

The upcoming game shifts focus with a narrative-driven approach and enhanced gameplay, set for a 2024 release on modern platforms.

'MechWarrior 5: Clans' introduces a cinematic single-player campaign, diverging from the series' competitive focus.
The game features a Clan Invasion story, a first since 'MechWarrior 2', and utilizes Unreal Engine 5 for enhanced visuals and gameplay.
Players can control a squad of pilots, using strategic combat and environment destruction to progress.
The narrative-driven approach includes character swapping and a deep customization system for mechs.
Set to launch in 2024 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S with cross-play support, but not on older consoles.
