BattleTech is an up-and-coming computer game set in the BattleTech universe in 3025. It was announced on July 29, 2015 that a new game would be made via backing from the website Kickstarter, with the Kickstarter campaign running from September 28 to Nov 4 2015.
Contents
Canonicity
Computer games are explicitly excluded from the list of products that contribute straight Canon to the BattleTech universe while at the same time it was stated that the IP owners are "not in total denial about these sources either"; it has also been stated that fluff from certain official, licensed products (namely certain computer games including those produced by FASA) can be assumed to be part of the shared universe as long as it is not directly contradicted, and makes sense. On this premise, BattleTech is considered to be an apocryphal product.
Gameplay
| “ | Steeped in the feudal political intrigue of the BattleTech universe, the game will feature an open-ended Mercenaries-style campaign that blends RPG ‘Mech and MechWarrior management with modern turn-based tactics. | ” |
