In this gripping sequel, players will traverse a meticulously crafted medieval landscape, from the humble confines of a blacksmith’s forge to the grandeur of royal courts, all while navigating the treacherous currents of a kingdom torn apart by civil war.
Join Henry on his quest for redemption and revenge in 1403 Bohemia later this year and remember: “Audentes fortuna iuvat!”

Featuring more than 90 minutes of cinematic cutscenes, the linear-style MechWarrior 5: Clans follows the 2019 release of the sandbox-style MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries, and brings players a class of MechWarrior game not seen for decades in a narratively driven campaign playable solo or in up to five-player co-op.
Hailed as “All Quiet on the Western Front with Mechs” from the most recent media preview in Digital Trends, the latest title from the modern shepherds of the MechWarrior series, Piranha Games, will take the franchise to new heights when it drops on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on Oct. 3. Today’s footage previews MechWarrior 5: Clans’ gameplay loop with a peek at refined frontend systems, stunning biomes and key in-game moments, teasing more of what to expect when MechWarrior 5: Clans launches this fall.
MechWarrior 5: Clans follows Piranha’s 2019 hit, MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries, an open-ended, procedural experience that sold more than 2 million units while securing its current 84% Very Positive ranking on Steam from more than 7,500 user reviews. MechWarrior 5: Clans is enjoyable as a self-contained campaign with a gripping narrative and tense, thrilling combat without any prior knowledge of the MechWarrior universe.
MechWarrior 5: Clans sports an exciting set of gameplay features for new and veteran pilots:
The Clan Invasion is Here: For the first time since MechWarrior 2 (released in 1995), pilots can immerse themselves in an action-packed Clan Invasion story – one of the most epic time periods in the franchise that changed the course of the Inner Sphere’s factions and politics forever. MechWarrior 5: Clans is the absolute perfect entry point into the MechWarrior universe for newcomers, and the game that veteran pilots have been waiting more than 30 years to play.
This Isn’t Run-and-Gun, This is MechWarrior: Celebrated core MechWarrior combat returns in MechWarrior 5: Clans. Pilots must strategically plan and execute Star-based team assaults if they are going to bring honor to Clan Smoke Jaguar while advancing their position within the Inner Sphere.
Customizable Mechs: Victory starts in your Mech Lab with an expanded collection of technologically advanced Clan weapon systems, equipment and Upgrades.

During today’s Gamescom’s Opening Night Live, Bethesda Game Studios announced the latest free update for Starfield is available now! Also announced during today’s ceremony was an October 1, 2024 release date for Shattered Space, Starfield’s highly anticipated new story expansion.
August Update
The free August Update introduces the REV-8 land vehicle. The REV-8 gives players the freedom to explore new frontiers — and reach new heights — in their very own cruiser.
Starfield: Official REV-8 Trailer:
The REV-8 comes equipped with a mounted turret, armour for additional protection when driving, room for a companion, and boosters to cover ground more quickly or get out of a sticky situation. Boosters can even add some jump to the ride, allowing players to sail through the air and reach areas that would have previously been much tougher to get to.
To launch the REV-8, head to a ship service technician to install a vehicle module. After being installed on their ship of choice, the REV-8 will automatically deploy outside the ship wherever players land.
Also available in the August Update are new Xbox Series S display settings to mirror existing Xbox Series X settings.
New settings:
Frame Rate Target: You can now choose between 30, 40, 60 or an Uncapped frame rate on VRR displays. If you do not have a VRR display running 120hz, you will still be able to select from 30 or 60. Screen tearing may occur at times when selecting 60 on a non-VRR display.
Prioritise: You can now prioritise between Visuals and Performance while trying to maintain the frame rate target. If you’re choosing a frame rate target of 60 or above, we recommend changing this to Performance. Prioritising Visuals keeps the highest resolution while maintaining full detail for special effects, lighting, and crowds. Prioritising Performance lowers internal resolution and detail for special effects, lighting, and crowds. Both modes may adjust internal resolution dynamically when scenes or action get heavier as well. When switching between modes, you will see the lighting change briefly as the system catches up to the new mode.
VSync: You can now toggle between VSync off or on. Choosing off will separate the game frames from the monitor’s refresh rate and may result in screen tearing. Toggling On will synchronise the frame rate to the monitor’s refresh rate avoiding screen tearing but limiting number of frames.
For a full rundown of everything included in Starfield’s free August Update, including a list of bug fixes and other features, visit Bethesda.net.
