PC-based Collectible Strategy Game Will Focus on Online Battles Set in 3025

MONTREAL – February 21, 2012 – An all-new MechWarrior® title for PCs will hit North America in 2012 from Roadhouse Interactive and A.C.R.O.N.Y.M. Games as newly formed publisher Infinite Game Publishing announced MechWarrior Tactics (www.mwtactics.com) today. MechWarrior Tactics, set in the BattleTech™ universe in the year 3025, is the latest evolution of turn-based strategy and blends tactical gameplay, deep collectability, unique online features and is set against visually stunning environments for the supreme MechWarrior battle experience.

Amid a universe thrown into chaos, five major houses control the vast majority of the Inner Sphere planets. In this time of impending war, every faction moves their force in a bid to expand territories and gain control over valuable and rare resources. New Mechs are being developed at rapid, unprecedented rates. Collapse of multiple territories in the face of hostility is imminent. As Commander of an elite mercenary company, join the battle and carve out your place in the history of the Inner Sphere. Obtain new Mechs and upgrades with each conquest and team up to defeat the onslaught of enemies vying for all your fame and glory. MechWarrior Tactics puts you in control over the destiny and fate of your place in the InnerSphere.

“MechWarrior Tactics delivers a powerful combination of skill, planning, and combat methodology coupled with great collectability,” said Tarrnie Williams, executive producer. “We’re truly excited to introduce a new style of gameplay to MechWarrior fans everywhere.”

MechWarrior Tactics allows players the freedom to collect and purchase vital combat and cosmetic resources to outfit each Mech, assemble a lance of four Mechs, and then go online for epic multiplayer showdowns competing for large payouts and top billing on global leaderboards. Master each Mech chassis and develop endless new configurations in your Mech Bay. Assemble a lance for the ages and keep one step ahead of both your friends and enemies.

A free-to-play experience, players lead their Mechs and earn victory on the battlefield. With combat replay features, victories can be shared across the Inner Sphere in a variety of ways, and seamless store integration allows players to keep focus on skillful plan and tactical command while easily outfitting their custom Mech with the latest weapons and technology. MechWarrior Tactics is power and strategy united.

MechWarrior Tactics will be available in 2012.
