MechWarrior franchise to get a reboot

After a string of teaser trailers got fans excited about the possibility of a new MechWarrior game, it's now official: a new entry in the franchise is under development. However, this won't be a sequel to 2002's MechWarrior 4, but instead will be a reboot for the long-running series.

The game is being jointly developed by Vancouver-based Piranha Games and Smith & Tinker, a company made up of former members of the now defunct FASA. After forming the company in 2007, Smith & Tinker co-founder Jordan Weisman was able to secure the rights to the MechWarrior franchise from Microsoft, along with other prominent intellectual properties like Shadowrun and Crimson Skies.
