Ashes & Ascension - Free Update Details and Patch Notes Preview

Greetings Mercenaries!

We’ve been thrilled by the response to last week’s announcement of MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries - Ashes & Ascension, and as promised, today we’re taking a closer look at the free update launching alongside DLC 9.

This is a big one! The update includes new ’Mech variants, new vehicles, new pilot traits, gameplay improvements, fixes, modding updates, and much more.

Some of this new content expands the base game, while other additions build upon content from previously released DLCs you own.

And while there’s a lot to dig into below, this is not yet a comprehensive list. The team is still hard at work on additional fixes, improvements, and polish ahead of release.

Full patch notes will be posted at launch. In the meantime, check out the highlights and update notes below, and if you haven’t already, wishlist Ashes & Ascension on Steam!
