North American Launch Event and Tournament September 26th in San Francisco to be Livestreamed on Twitch.tv
“Piranha Games” and “Infinite Game Publishing” announced the launch for “MechWarrior Online”, the free-to-play PC game that allows you to pilot mechanical battle units and face against other pilots of the universe. The game already has more than 1.3 registered players since all have played the beta.
“This is an extremely exciting day for everyone at Piranha,” said Russ Bullock, president of MechWarrior Online developer Piranha Games. “Our official launch comes on the heels of a successful Open Beta development period. Our passionate fans were with us every step of the way helping us create the most ambitious MechWarrior game yet!”
“MechWarrior Online” puts you in the year 3050 in the early stages of war piloting the powerful war machine, the BattleMech. In-game you can customize your own mech with upgrade systems, weapons, and armor that lets you take full control of your strategy in battle. Mind you that these battles are online and each battle rewards you with Exp., C-bills, unlocks, and recognition.
“What an incredible journey from our initial announcement to our official launch,” said Kelly Zmak, president of MechWarrior Online publisher Infinite Game Publishing. “Today we are proud to bring the most anticipated MechWarrior game in the series to fans around the world. The official launch of MechWarrior Online is just the beginning and we are excited for what lies ahead.”
Bullock continued, “Our official launch is a jumping off point for a continuous stream of meaningful content updates to the game. We are looking forward to implementing the next round of major features for our pilots, including an entire new interface, new pilot tutorials, new Mechs and Maps and the long-awaited Community Warfare pillar. This is only the beginning. There is no final product.”
“Infinite Game Publishing” and “Piranha Games” will also be hosting an official “MechWarrior Online” tournament at The Mezzanine in San Francisco on Thursday Sept. 26th, and it will be live at www.twitch.com/mechwarrior starting at 2 p.m. The tournament will be sponsored by “Ultimate Game Card”, “GeForce”, and “Razer”. The event will also showcase new content that beta players have probably never seen, award prizes.
“We’re huge fans of MechWarrior Online,” says Min-Liang Tan, Razer co-founder, CEO and creative director. “The franchise has legions of diehard fans – many of which use our amazing products – and we’re thrilled to be supporting the launch of what should be the next amazing title in the series.”
“MechWarrior Online is a tremendously popular title,” said Andre Machicao, general manager of PlaySpan, Inc. “PlaySpan is thrilled to work with Infinite Game Publishing to ensure a frictionless, in-game payment experience, so gamers can focus on conquering the battlefield.”
