MechWarrior 5 Mercenaries AMA No 2 with Russ Bullock

The new MechWarrior 5 Mercenaries game, being developed by PGI, is due to release in September of 2019. The Developers are doing a bunch of Ask Me Anything Discord sessions between now and then. This is AMA Session Number 2, held in the evening on January 17th 2019. Russ Bullock, President of PGI, is joined by other PGI Devs and Staff to answer questions put to them by early Community Edition PreOrder-ers. I myself am a MWO Founder, BattleTech Kickstarter/Alpha/Beta Tester, and have PreOrdered MW5Mercs. Enjoy.

All I want to know is the Mauler in cos that's literally the only mech I'm interested in and a madcat

[@avatarquinn]

Mad Cat for sure wont be in. The timeline for MW5 is 3025. Clan Invasion is 3049-3050, where we'de first see a Mad Cat (Timberwolf)

[@HesH_WT]

Well hopefully the Mauler will
