Smith & Tinker have given the thumbs up to MekTek to re-release MechWarrior 4 as a free game for fans of the BattleTech universe, which enjoys its 25th anniversary.
For fans this is ”a chance to re-discover MechWarrior,” and the timing couldn’t be better since a new MechWarrior is being worked on by Smith & Tinker and Piranha Games.
”This free release of MechWarrior 4 commemorates BattleTech’s 25th anniversary as well as MekTek’s 10th anniversary, and will allow BattleTech fans a chance to re-discover MechWarrior, as well as help us bring in a new army of players who are discovering MechWarrior and the BattleTech universe for the first time, completely for free,” says MekTek.
”We welcome the opportunity for the MekTek team to officially take a leadership role in the cultivation and development of the on-line MechWarrior 4 communities in support and anticipation of the recently announced MechWarrior game by Smith & Tinker and Piranha games.”
MechWarrior 4 was released back in 2001, so naturally don’t expect to have your visual socks blown off by it, especially if you’ve seen the new MechWarrior trailer…
