We know that the actual MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries is coming this September, and Piranha Games (the makers of MechWarrior Online ) are licensing the MechWarrior IP from Microsoft (as well as ToppsвЂ“itвЂ™s really complicated), so there is a slim chance that MechWarrior 5 might just be the вЂMech game that our leaker was referring to. Apparently, Microsoft is so desperate for some exclusive game franchises that theyвЂ™re dusting off the old MechWarrior IP and putting it towards a new game. The point is, MechAssault is unloved and nobody asked for a reboot of MechAssault. Then MechWarrior 5 was canceled (which was not the current MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries, set to release this September), but thatвЂ™s a totally different SNAFU for a totally different day. Then resources were put towards a nascent MechWarrior 5 as MechAssault вЂ™s sales didnвЂ™t exactly impressВ (although apparently good enough to warrant a sequel). They made a sequel in 2004 called MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf, and a Nintendo DS game that was even worse than all previous MechAssault games put together. But MechAssault was crap and had no redeeming features. To me, Dark Age had its place and as a genuine attempt to revive BattleTechвЂ™s tabletop years, I can respect it and even like it. Like, what the fuck is a Hackman ? And why is it a 35-ton вЂMech with a top speed of 54 kph and armed with a Gauss rifle? Why couldnвЂ™t they just use the freakinвЂ™ UrbanMech ?! They also just made up a whole bunch of вЂMechs that did nothing to follow the wider BattleTech aesthetic. It was buggy, had some pretty extreme difficulty spikes, and featured a plot that had only the barest hint of resemblance to the wider BattleTech universe. MechAssault wasвЂ“and I say this as a lover of arcade-style robot shoot-вЂ™em-up gamesвЂ“bad. There is a VERY high chance that a new mech game has been in the works and it will be finally revealed here)вЂќДЇor those of you who skipped MechAssault on the original Xbox, kudos! You made the right choice. вЂњ MechAssault /Mech Game вЂ“ Reveal (Microsoft owns the right to MechAssault, for those who do not know. Under the section our anonymous tipster labeled вЂњHas A High Chance Of HappeningвЂќ isвЂ¦ well, this: The leak comes courtesy of a thread on NeoGAF from an industry insider, and while the leaker seems on the up and up, all of this is unverified, so break out the salt shaker while youвЂ™re imbibing this little tidbit. So my day job is to write about games for another publication (among other things), and I found a very interesting leak concerning MicrosoftвЂ™s upcoming E3 presentation on June 9th.

Microsoft might be bringing back MechAssault at this yearвЂ™s E3, and I have no idea why.
