Piranha Games may be the next developer studio to jump the Steamship since the FAQ for MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries was recently purged of all references to Steam or Valve, just under two months before it releases on 10 September 2019.

The release date for MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries has finally been revealed on MechCon 2018 by the developer Piranha Games. The game is set to release on 10 September 2019 for PC with four-player co-operative multiplayer and full mod support.

Russ Bullock, the president of Piranha Games, has announced on his official Twitter account that MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries' release date has been postponed until 2019, citing the studio's wish to deliver the best experience as the reason.
