MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries first released on PC back in December of 2019, and now we've got official confirmation that it's coming to Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S on May 27 (thanks TheGamer).
We haven't got many details just yet, but the first major DLC for the game – 'Heroes of the Innersphere' is also said to be launching at the same time. Here's what Robin Flodin, CEO of EG7 had to say about the announcement:
"We are very excited to also be able to give Xbox and Steam players a good dose of MechWarrior fun. It is also great to be able to present yet another example of the EG7 companies working together to bring a world-class title to market."
There's no word yet on whether MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries will be coming to Xbox Game Pass for console, but we wouldn't be surprised if it does, as it's currently included with Xbox Game Pass for PC. Let's hope that's the case!
The year is 3015. The battlefields are dominated by war machines known as BattleMechs. Level entire cities and decimate the enemy in your BattleMech. Follow a quest for glory and revenge. Manage an expanding mercenary company. Fight alongside your friends with a four-player PvE co-op.

Played a lot of mech warrior back in the day. Really looking forward to this. Hope it plays well on consoles.
@Xiovanni MechWarrior has never been on Xbox. You're thinking of the watered down to Michelob/Bud levels, spin off, Mech Assault.
What a great surprise announcement! Loved Mechwarrior 2 way back on an old "sold out software" bargain CD ROM back in the day.
Nice looking forward to this 👍
And still waiting for Fromsoftware to bring back Armored Core
@pip_muzz It didn't happen to come with Pirate's Moon and XCom Enforcer did it? I found a box, like one of Blizzard's, old battle chests, at a Big Lots back in the day.
@InterceptorAlpha Haha, no I think I got it in a bundle with Nightmare Creatures and another old game, Swat 3 or something. I miss rummaging through the old Woolworth/Game bargain PC bargain bin I have to say.
Another who remembers Mech Warrior 2 on the PC, it doesn’t look the visual spectacle I remember it being though.
@Xiovanni That's how all cars look in the year 3015. First introduced by Toyoshi Motors in 3012.
