Several major releases have been announced, not only from CGL but also (tentatively) from [[Harebrained Schemes]] with their [[BattleTech (Video Game)|BattleTech video game]] and from [[Piranha Games]] with their announced single-player [[MechWarrior 5]] game, both of which will draw even more new players into our little universe.

Ben Rome's work includes the acclaimed ''[[The Wars of Reaving]]'' and ''[[Combat Manual: Kurita]]'' and is held in particularly high esteem by the fan base, who had nothing but praise and good wishes for him and expressed regret at his decision to leave BattleTech.
