On behalf of the entire MechWarrior development team at Piranha Games, I’m thrilled to announce MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries – Legend of the Kestrel Lancers is coming to Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows 10 PC on September 23!
This second expansion takes MechWarrior 5 to the next level with more story, mechs, modes, biomes, and more. Moving away from the more sandbox-style structure seen in the Heroes of the Inner Sphere expansion, the single-player campaign for Legend of the Kestrel Lancers will focus on the amazing stories in the BattleTech universe.
Set during the “Fourth Succession War,” one of the most famous conflicts in the history of BattleTech lore, players can look forward to an epic 14-mission campaign with custom story dialogue as a war of galactic proportions unfolds.
“All-Out War” Scenarios
While the high drama unfolds above, players will be in the thick of the action with mechs on the ground as the war rages on. Expect urban warfare to increase in scope with cities that are significantly larger in size than any Urban Centers previously seen in the series.
We’ll also introduce brand-new “All-Out War” scenarios designed to give players the feeling that the hulking BattleMechs they pilot are a part of a larger force at play. We’re also exploring new territory for mission settings. All this comes on top of new Mega City, Jungle, and Tourmaline Desert biomes and over 20 additional Mech variants.
Melee Combat Mech-Punching and Instant Mech-Switching
All MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries players can also look forward to a huge free content update also scheduled to launch September 23, which will add melee combat for the very first time! The ability to swing and punch with your mechs has continued to be one of the most requested and highly anticipated features from our MechWarrior community, and we’re happy to announce that it’s finally coming to the base game.
In addition, this update will allow players to switch between any of the AI-controlled Lance BattleMechs during a mission. While this may seem like a small update, this feature has a significant impact over gameplay, offering pilots the ability to take full control over previously AI-controlled BattleMechs instantaneously with the press of a button.
With the brand-new Legend of the Kestrel Lancers expansion and our massive free update on the way there’s a Mech-sized ton of new content, story, missions, and improvements to discover. The best part: MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries is available to play with Xbox Game Pass for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows 10 PC. Xbox Game Pass members can also save up to 20% off select games in the Xbox Game Pass library, plus up to 10% off related game add-ons, in the Xbox Store — that includes MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries and the Heroes of the Inner Sphere expansion.

Welcome to the year 3015! It’s a hell of a time to be alive.
Humanity has colonized thousands of star systems spanning a vast region of space known as the Inner Sphere. The golden age of cooperation and advancement is now a distant memory, and humanity has once again splintered into disparate factions all vying for supremacy.
In the midst of these Succession Wars, power hungry Mercenaries like yourself are in a privileged position to capitalize big time. It’s dangerous work but that’s why you’re here, right? If you’ve got an itch to blast, wreck, stomp and go all out ballistic, step inside and become your own weapon of war!
