　　BattleTech is an established franchise of both tabletop and video games stretching back to 1984, which includes the popular spinoff series MechWarrior. The last BattleTech game came out in 1994 for the Sega Genesis. As a result, the developer claims that the new BattleTech is "the first turn-based tactical Mech PC game in over 20 years."

　　Hairbrained Schemes is best known for developing recent Shadowrun games. BattleTech includes a story campaign as well as competitive multiplayer, and it is currently scheduled for release sometime in 2017. You can check out screenshots from the game below (click for full size).
