Harebrained Schemes taking BattleTech to Kickstarter, campaign to launch this autumn

Shadowrun Returns developer Harebrained Schemes will be taking the fight to another kind of science fiction universe this autumn as they launch a Kickstarter campaign for Jordan Weisman's 1984 BattleTech series.

What little we know of their plans is this: it will be an "open-ended Mercenaries-style campaign" that will blend RPG "Mech and MechWarrior management" with turn-based tactics. The campaign begins this autumn.

Harebrained's latest Kickstarter success - Shadowrun: Hong Kong - releases August 20th.
