MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries – Shadows of Kerensky DLC Coming This September
Prepare for an exciting new chapter in the MechWarrior universe with the upcoming Shadows of Kerensky DLC for MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries, set to release in September. This fresh addition to the game, developed by Piranha Bytes, will be available for $19.99 and promises an action-packed story that brings players right into the heart of the Clan invasion.
Unlike the MechWarrior 5: Clans expansion that launched in October 2024, Shadows of Kerensky focuses on the perspective of a mercenary company, hired by the Rasalhague Republic to fight off an overwhelming new enemy. What begins as a standard mission soon spirals into a desperate struggle for survival as hidden truths about the Clans’ origins are revealed. Players will find themselves thrust into a gripping 12-mission story campaign, where every choice matters in the fight against the Clan invasion.
The DLC promises cinematic sequences, detailed mission briefings, and high-stakes gameplay that will keep you on the edge of your seat. As the battle lines shift, players will be given access to new contracts, with high-risk missions set in dangerous areas near Clan-controlled territories. With deadly patrols lurking around every corner, the stakes have never been higher.
One of the most exciting additions is the chance to face off against 16 powerful OmniMechs, giving players the opportunity to upgrade their own arsenal with Clan weapons and equipment. Additionally, the DLC introduces 13 new variants, including the formidable Bullshark, along with new Inner Sphere weapons to help turn the tide in your favor. But that’s not all-players will also be able to recruit elite MechWarriors, each with unique abilities to boost their mercenary group’s power.
It’s important to note that while this DLC runs on Unreal Engine 4, just like the base game, it offers a distinct experience from the MechWarrior 5: Clans expansion, which uses the more advanced Unreal Engine 5.
