Mechwarrior fans rejoice! Battletech slated for 2017

Successful mech games since the release of Mechwarrior Mercenaries (in 2002) could be counted by one hand...or less. MekTek's free release in 2010 has helped the silence of a new game, but still has not filled the void for fans that has lasted for 15 years. According to their website, Battletech plans to release a new turned-based video game by the end of 2017. Battletech is the name of the original table-top game that was launched in 1984. Mechwarrior was the video game iteration of Battletech and turned out to be a large hit. The change to turn-based play will be a big change, but it still has to be exciting for all Mech fans!
