At Mech_Con 2018, MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries got a brand new gameplay trailer as well as the official release date on PC: September 10th, 2019. The game was previously due in late 2018 but got delayed a few months ago to improve upon it.
Russ Bullock, president of Piranha Games, said:
Getting to meet with MechWarrior’s most diehard fans and see them react to the team’s hard work at Mech_Con has become an incredible tradition for us. The team has put so much work and passion into our mission to bring MechWarrior back into the spotlight, and seeing our excitement for what’s still to come for this classic series reverberate with the community in the room tonight was incredible.
MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries is one of the few games that are going to integrate both raytracing via NVIDIA RTX and NVIDIA Deep Learning Super-Sampling (DLSS). We've recently chatted with Alexander Garden, Producer at Piranha Games, to learn more about the team's effort to implement these cutting-edge technologies featured in the latest GeForce RTX line of graphics cards.
