Infinite Game Publishing (IGP) and MechWarrior Online developer Piranha Games today announced results of its MechWarrior Online Founder’s Program. The pre-order program for MechWarrior Online achieved more than $5 million in sales since it first went on sale in July. Beginning soon, MechWarrior Online will be available for all PC gamers to play at http://www.mwomercs.com as it transitions into the Open Beta phase.
MechWarrior Online represents the first of three premium online games to be published worldwide by IGP, opening first in North America. Russ Bullock, president of Piranha Games, lauded the program’s success, “Working together with IGP, we maximized the value for fans participating in the MechWarrior Online Founder’s Program by offering three tiers to suit different player’s needs. Ultimately the program was a categorical success and we couldn’t be happier with the sales and important player feedback we’ve received.”
In addition to MechWarrior Online, IGP has announced two additional free-to-play games this year which have already been labeled as white-hot brands by top industry media: MechWarrior Tactics (http://www.mwtactics.com) and Sins of a Dark Age (http://www.sinsofadarkage.com), both of which are currently in late alpha testing and will launch Open Betas later this year.
