Battletech New Mechs - DLC Mechs Coming to Battletech
This video is going to talk about some of the more iconic and popular mechs in the battletech universe that will likely be included in future DLC for battletech. Hair Brained Schemes, the developers of battletech, have already confirmed that there will be multiple DLCs for the game. Which is awesome news for all us battletech fans out there.
Why the unseen are included in this video:
For those of you that are unaware, there has been an ongoing lawsuit between the Robotech intellectual property owners and the Battletech IP for a while. The Robotech owners claimed that a couple dozen Battletech mechs are too similar in design and appearance to their Robotech counterparts. These mechs became known as 'the unseen' as the off and on again legal fight over the IP made it simpler for the Battletech creators to just remove them from many products or change up names and appearances in order to avoid further fighting.
The Robotech IP holders filed suit against Piranha Games, the developers of MechWarrior online, and where the Battletech mechs are licensed from. The courts have recently sided with Piranha and likely to side with HareBrained Schemes as well. Meaning there it is extremely likely HBS will be able to include the unseen in Battletech. In fact the warhammer, an unseen we talk about in this video actually had a model within the game
