BattleTech makes an epic return to PlayStation with MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries

From PSBlog: "Greetings Mercs! This is Daeron Katz, Senior Community Manager for MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries. I’ve been a huge fan of the BattleTech franchise and MechWarrior games since the 1984 BattleDroids tabletop game. Despite the wealth of board games, novels, and MechWarrior games that bring the world of BattleTech to life, PlayStation fans haven’t had a proper MechWarrior experience since the time-tested classic, MechWarrior 2: 31st Century Combat, released for the original PlayStation in 1995."

Wow. That's interesting. Quite a hiatus.

No kidding. Was pretty sure we'd never see the series on Playstation again. Lol.

There's no MTs in MW5. The only paid content so far is the Heroes of the Inner Sphere DLC, which adds Career mode, new mechs and weapons, etc. It's something like an expansion pack, and PGI have stated that's how they want to do their DLCs.
