Like most wars involving serious armour tonnage, Battletech is a lot of waiting around punctured by moments of death and destruction. The turn-based tactics slugathon has the later down to a science, with the former lacking refinement.

Paradox Interactive and Harebrained Schemes have announced the release date for their turn-based tactics game BattleTech to be 24 April 2018. In order to engage the hype train's main reactors, they have also released a story trailer.

Paradox Interactive CFO Andras Vajlok has decided to step down from his position. Andras will remain with the company until a successor has been recruited and a thorough transition has taken place. Paradox's Battletech project has been delayed into early 2018.

Harebrained Schemes are launching their latest game's backer beta on 01 June. The initial version available on 01 June will not feature a multiplayer mode.

Harebrained Schemes have announced, on their Kickstarter page, that they will be working with Paradox Interactive in order to publish BattleTech. Paradox will be funding localisation, testing and assist with marketing, while HBS will retain complete control over development.
