With over 50 unique ?Mech chassis and hundreds of sub-variants to collect and customize, no two 'Mechs are the same! But it's not just about destruction - as the leader of a Mercenary company, you'll need to manage your relationships with the Great Houses of the Inner Sphere, maintain and acquire 'Mechs and equipment, and hire MechWarriors from throughout the region. The fate of the Inner Sphere hangs in the balance, and your decisions will shape the outcome.

In this game, you'll experience a rich storyline with branching narratives, intense mech combat, and deep character customization. With four-player co-op supported both within the campaign and the Instant Action system, you can share the MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries experience with friends. And when you're ready to take your skills to the next level, jump into the game's modding community to unlock a world of creative possibilities.

As the inheritor of a once-prominent Mercenary company, reborn in the flames of its near destruction at the hands of conspiring factions, your quest for glory and revenge will stretch light-years as you chase threads of interstellar intrigue along your journey to becoming an elite MechWarrior and mercenary commander.

In the midst of these Succession Wars, power hungry Mercenaries like yourself are in a privileged position to capitalize big time. It's dangerous work but that's why you're here, right? If you've got an itch to blast, wreck, stomp and go all out ballistic, step inside and become your own weapon of war!

The battlefields of the future are dominated by BattleMechs, hulking machines of war capable of leveling entire cities. As a BattleMech pilot, you'll rain havoc upon enemy 'Mechs and targets, including tanks, ground vehicles, aircraft, advanced defenses, and reinforced bases.

Few things can withstand the power of a ?Mech for long, and the worlds of the Inner Sphere are veritable playgrounds of destruction awaiting your shielding defense or crushing devastation. Whether acquired from scouring the markets of the Inner Sphere for rare and valuable chassis and equipment, or salvaging directly from the wreckage of your annihilated enemies and the spoils of war, the maintenance and operation of your BattleMechs will be vital to your success both as a MechWarrior and a Mercenary outfit commander.

In this vast open world, you'll need to maintain and acquire 'Mechs and equipment, hire and field MechWarriors from throughout the Inner Sphere to join you on the battlefield, and manage your relationships with the Great Houses of the Inner Sphere, all of whom are vying for your contribution to their staggering war efforts. Of course, with each Contract comes negotiation, and with each victory comes consequence.

With the vast scope of the Inner Sphere and its complex system of world generation providing huge variety and replayability, the MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries experience offers no end. Outside the campaign, a fully-featured Instant Action system will allow you to customize and kick off isolated missions at any time, free from campaign restrictions.

With four-player co-op supported both within the campaign and the Instant Action system, you can experience the full breadth of the MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries universe alongside your friends. And when you're ready to take your skills to the next level, jump into the game's modding community to unlock a world of creative possibilities.

This is MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries - where the thrill of battle and the art of war come together in a richly detailed sci-fi setting.
