In MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries you will adopt the role of a rookie MechWarrior pilot thrust into combat as the Third Succession War continues to fracture the Inner Sphere. Take contracts from the factions of your choosing and engage in tactical, first-person, PvE ‘Mech combat through an immersive, career-based Mercenary campaign driven by player choice. Victory, prestige, and profit will not only require skill on the battlefield, but in the acquisition, maintenance, and enhancement of your BattleMechs. Set for release in 2018, MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries is under development by a dedicated development team at Piranha Games. MechWarrior Online, Piranha’s existing F2P multiplayer-focused tactical ‘Mech combat game, will continue its ongoing live development by the MWO team at Piranha.

What is MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries about?

The year is 3015. Humanity has expanded to the stars, colonizing a vast region of space known as the Inner Sphere. Where the Star League once ruled in relative stability, generations of countless wars, alliances, and betrayals have divided the Inner Sphere into five distinct Successor States. These states, also known as the Great Houses, have fought and quarreled for centuries over the remnants of the Star League and control of the Inner Sphere. They are now in the midst of a Third Succession War, one which has been raging for almost 150 years. While the battlefields of the Inner Sphere burn with an array of devastating weaponry, none is more formidable than the BattleMech. These immense fighting machines, piloted by elite fighters known as MechWarriors, dominate the wars of the future with enough firepower to annihilate entire cities.

Should I stream MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries on Twitch?

0/100 · Closed off· 1 viewers per streamer on paper

Probably not. The only English stream here holds all 1 English viewers — once you take it out there is nothing left to reach.

The only English stream here holds all 1 English viewers. There is nothing left over for a second.

Almost nobody here is available to you — either a couple of streams hold the room, or nobody is watching in English, or the category is empty, or you would be buried.

This reads the room as it is right now — how much of the English-speaking audience is reachable and where you would land — not how many followers you would gain. That depends on you.

Is MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries too saturated on Twitch?

Not crowded, but not open either. Only 1 person is streaming MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries, and the one English stream holds all 1 English viewers — so the room is quiet because that audience is already committed, not because it is waiting for you.

  • “Do not put new mechs and weapons from DLC people don't have on the salvage page and then say they can't requisition it. It's transparently greedy and in poor taste/practice.”
