MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries drops you into the year 3015, a turbulent era in which humanity has colonized thousands of star systems across the vast region of space known as the Inner Sphere. The golden age of cooperation is long gone, and humankind has fractured into rival factions all vying for supremacy. Amid these Succession Wars, power-hungry Mercenaries like you are perfectly placed to capitalize, taking on dangerous work for those with an appetite to blast, wreck and stomp their way to fortune.
As the inheritor of a once-prominent Mercenary company, reborn from near destruction at the hands of conspiring factions, your quest for glory and revenge stretches across light-years. Following threads of interstellar intrigue, you work toward becoming an elite MechWarrior and mercenary commander, piloting your BattleMech as your own weapon of war.
The Inner Sphere itself is alive with activity, purpose and consequence, home to thousands of star systems and an array of stunning biomes. Systems are captured and reclaimed, major events unfold, and new technologies come to light, while the rigors of war show with each passing week as your standing with the various factions rises and falls under the pressure of the ongoing Succession Wars. On PC, this action simulation delivers open-ended mercenary campaigning across a living galaxy.
