Microsoft Game Studios announced today that Mechassault 2 is under development at Day 1 Studios and is due to ship in time for the 2004 holiday season.
No longer limited to life within a single BattleMech, gamers take on the role of a full-fledged human pilot and are able to pick and choose from a roster of combat vehicles including Tanks, Vertical TakeOff and Landing crafts (VTOLs), BattleArmor, and, of course, BattleMechs. The right vehicle choice is key to successfully completing the wide variety of missions in the game and defeating the opposition. Solo gamers will find the single-player campaign significantly richer with a deeper story line, NPC interaction, and missions delivered on the fly.
BattleArmor, a new and exciting addition, will play a key role in the action. BattleArmor allows gamers to become one of the deadliest weapons in the MechAssault 2 universe. More than just a protective shell, BattleArmor gives the wearer the ability to hijack enemy 'Mechs, climb buildings, tear through infantry squads, and unleash pure devastation on enemy armor. BattleArmor-equipped gamers can even hitch a ride on VTOLs for a quick airborne assault on enemy positions!
Xbox Live gamers will be in awe of the new MechAssault 2 features. Massive battles will rage between teams armed to the teeth with 'Mechs, Tanks, BattleArmor, and VTOLs. Online play will never be the same as squads of BattleArmor are dropped by VTOLs into enemy territory, leaving chaos and destruction in their wake as they 'jack enemy 'Mechs and turn defensive systems against their own clan. Xbox Live will give MechAssault 2 players the opportunity to wage war between clans and across planets while still offering popular gameplay modes from the original.
MechAssault 2 will ship in Q4 2004. PALGN will have more news as it breaks.
