The free-to-play MechWarrior Online now features the long-awaited 12 vs. 12 match combat, Piranha Games has announced. The latest enhancements to the game also sees the introduction of double XP for the first win of the day.

“The 12 vs. 12 gameplay changes combat dramatically,” said Bryan Ekman, creative director at Piranha Games. “Players now have a deep bench of options for a variety of strategies, more creative attacks and defense schemes and can alter their combat strategies in greater variety for each environment. This is true MechWarrior combat.”

Also dropping in to the Inner Sphere is a new hero mech ‘Golden Boy’. The Golden Boy sports a 30 percent C-bill bonus, three SRM-6’s, two SRM-4’s and four medium pulse lasers. Check it out in the official trailer below.

An environmentally terrifying new map is also now playable for pilots wanting to test thermal limits in combat: Terra Therma. Drop in on this tumultuous moon where pilots will be faced with ever-changing tectonic activity and violent volcanic eruptions. 

Set to launch on September 17th, MechWarrior Online has garnered more than 1 million players since its initial announcement last year. The title has added loads of new content with regular updates since the game’s Open Beta announcement last fall.
