Some of the legal issues may pertain to who actually, truly owns the rights to the lore and art found in the games, and what can be done with them on modern platforms. Back in 1999, there were no huge scale internet-connected networks like we see today, certainly no cloud gaming platform to account for, and various other storefronts. The true problem may lie with the legalese in the original FASA acquisition.

Xbox head Phil Spencer also commented in 2015 that Microsoft isn't working on a MechAssault or MechCommander game, but "they should be." Indeed, Mechwarrior is the second most requested classic game on GOG.com, with over 54000 votes. Microsoft said back in 1999 that MechWarrior 2 and its expansions had achieved $70 million dollars in sales back in the day, which makes it seem incredibly odd that we haven't seen more from the franchises since. We aren't working on it but we should be.- Phil Spencer July 10, 2015

What happened to I still think a MechAssault/MechCommander linked game across PC and Xbox would be great. It definitely has problems (with the worst companion AI I've ever seen), but the core gameplay is satisfying and nostalgic and made me wonder why Microsoft hasn't explored the franchise a little more in recent years. Pirahna Games is also working on MechWarrior 5, now available on Xbox Game Pass. I feel like games with heavy, hulking, tank-like mechs are few and far in between these days, although there are some great options out there.īattleTech by Harebrained is a truly excellent, and complex game, and I can see myself sinking dozens of more hours into it in the coming weeks. I do remember how great it felt to play, though. My first introduction to the franchise was a brief experience with MechAssault on the original Xbox, although my memories of the game is hazy. While playing BattleTech, I began getting sucked into a rabbit hole of novels, its utterly complex political landscape, and its small, but passionate community of minifig collectors and tabletop roleplayers.

As a franchise, BattleTech is probably more famous among gamers for its MechWarrior and MechAssault titles, based on the tabletop strategy game with lore that dates back literal decades. Recently I've become hopelessly addicted to the recent BattleTech game, released a couple of years ago by Harebrained Studios and Paradox.
