BattleTech, home of classic tabletop action and some excellent video games, is making a digital comeback. This time for the PC.
Note before we go any further that weâre talking about BattleTech itself, not its spinoff series MechWarrior
Sticking close to its roots, the new gameâcurrently up on Kickstarterâhas been designed as âa single-player, turn-based, tactical âMech combat gameâ, due for the PC, Mac and Linux.
Promisingly, this isnât some farmed-out effort; development is being handled by Harebrained (the recent Shadowrun games), and BattleTech creator/FASA founder Jordan Weisman is one of three development leads.
Itâs early days, so there isnât any footage available, but there is a bunch of concept art from Mike McCain, Joel DuQue, Maury Weiss and Jenn Tran which you can see below.
