Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries launches December 10 as an Epic exclusive

Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries is now launching December 10. This is a slight delay for a game that Piranha intended to launch in September. The studio noted that a major reason for the delay is that window of time is now filling up with major launches that it doesn’t want to compete against. I mean, who wants to compete against NHL 20, am I right? OK, Piranha is likely talking about Gears 5, Borderlands 3, The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, and major DLC for Destiny 2 and Monster Hunter.

As part of the delay, Piranha is planning to add even more polish to Mechwarrior 5. But that’s not the only news here. The studio also revealed that the sci-fi mech simulator is now exclusive to the Epic Games Store for one year.
