What does an army of armored mechs in the distance sound like? Victory!

If you hear a loud rumbling sound off in the distance today then you might want to make sure that it isn't an army of geared mechs stampeding towards your home. The anticipated MechWarrior Online has officially launched today with plenty of mechs that are armed to the teeth; awaiting players to pilot them to victory.

"With launch officially here, players can expect MechWarrior to continue to storm ahead with regular semi-monthly patches for the foreseeable future. We have a full slate of expansion features coming out during the next year, which include our new entire re-envisioned user interface, private matches, level and rank system, the ability for players to join and create custom mercenary units, new game modes, Clan technology, and the epic battle to control the Inner Sphere. All of this in addition to our regular monthly content updates and events. Expect us to continue delivering new maps throughout the next year, with some exciting new concepts like Island Metropolis out in October, and Moon Base due out in December.

We have captured the essence of what it means to be a MechWarrior pilot and we look forward to expanding the MWO universe with exciting new content for many years to come!"
