MechWarrior Tactics was first teased last week and the full reveal arrived on Tuesday as free-to-play, turn-based multiplayer game featuring the giant mechs of the Battletech universe.
With MechWarrior Tactics, players can earn, collect and purchase weapons and equipment for the mechs in their own mercenary company to battle others online in asynchronous multiplayer combat.
True to its name, tactics will play a significant part of MechWarrior Tactics as players choose from the different custom mechs sitting in their hangar. Each mech fills a different role so you'll want to choose which ones you take into battle with you carefully.
No platforms were announced but the PC is an obvious choice. MechWarrior Tactics is scheduled to launch sometime in 2012. You can check out concept art for the mechs in our slideshow gallery.
According to a press release for the MechWarrior Tactics announcement, the game will feature the following.
- Collect, Customize, Command:
- Earn Experience and new resources as you advance your level through gameplay
- Upgrade and customize your Mechs in your Mech Bay
- Make the most of each Mech’s unique configuration for total battlefield domination
- Customizable Mechs – seamless store integration means never having to leave the game to purchase and equip new resources for your next mission
- Asynchronous Combat: Multiple concurrent battles with players from around the world
- Competitive ranked games and global leaderboards lets the world know you’re in charge. Play for a chance to win larger, more meaningful reward payouts
