Given that the Kickstarter hasn't even launched yet, I doubt there's much to see. If you're lucky enough to attend Gen Con over the next few days, you'll be able to try Necropolis and take an early peek at a BattleTech asset. Oh, and there's Necropolis, Harebrained's other game. It's probably best not to get too giddy and, hey, let's see wait see and how Shadowrun: Hong Kong works out. The Clans of BattleTech were originally descended from the self-exiled remnants of the Star League Defense Force (SLDF), who had departed the Inner Sphere after Stefan Amaris brought about the downfall of the Star League. Even the campaign structure sounds exactly as I imagine these things in my dreams - "an open-ended Mercenaries-style campaign that blends RPG ‘Mech and MechWarrior management with modern turn-based tactics". The original creator is onboard, its going to be turn-based and this is a very exciting announcement indeed. Steeped in the feudal political intrigue of the BattleTech universe, the game will feature an open-ended Mercenaries-style campaign that blends RPG ‘Mech and MechWarrior management with modern turn-based tactics.

Jordan Weisman, the creator of BattleTech and MechWarrior, is back with the first turn-based BattleTech game for PC in over two decades. Harebrained Schemes is pleased to announce their return to Kickstarter this Fall to partner with backers in co-funding the creation of BATTLETECH. Or at least it will be if an upcoming Kickstarter is successful.

Harebrained Schemes love a good return though and now they're preparing to help another series step back into the limelight.īattleTech is back. I’m looking forward to seeing how this comes together.Shadowrun has enjoyed a triumphant return and after the superb Dragonfall, I'm as excited about the the upcoming trip to Hong Kong as I am about almost any other game coming up in the second half of the year.

Given Harebrained Schemes success with its more mature version of crowdfunding, there’s every reason to expect the company to deliver on all its promises in a timely fashion. BattleTech Advanced 3062 (BTA) is a full overhaul for the game to enhance the tactical game experience with new systems, to minorly modify the strategic game experience, and to vastly deepen and detail the tactical game experience, including modified combat systems and new mech and weapon variety, as well as other features. I’m thrilled that Battletech is coming back.
This makes the gap between crowdfunding completion and release a mere six months, delivering on the promise to release the latest installment this summer. Given the language in the media alert, we suspect the same model will be in play for Battletech when Harebrained Schemes begins to seek assistance later this year.Īs for Shadowrun: Hong Kong, it will arrive on August 20. Equipment: Salvage parts donated by the Commonwealth, cobbled together by the mechanical teams ingenuity. Rank: a Militia Regiment of the Australia System, Lyran Commonwealth. The studio had base funding to make the game, but asked fans to contribute funds in order to make it a bigger, meatier game. Command/Organization: 1st Ballarat Training Cadre. When Harebrained Schemes last ventured to Kickstarter for Shadowrun: Hong Kong, it adopted a matured crowdfunding model. The Kickstarter will launch this fall for funding of a new, turn-based game set in the world of giant, armed-to-the-teeth mechs. Harebrained Schemes is asking fans to help make Battletech a reality once more. Our guesses were Battletech or Crimson Skies, and today we know which. During our chat, we asked about other upcoming projects at the studio and were told that another of Weisman’s older IPs was under consideration. Back in May, we spoke with Jordan Weisman and Mitch Gitelman of Harebrained Schemes.
