“Any developer wants their titles to get as much attention as possible, and obviously sharing a release date with Cyberpunk was less than optimal. Day one sales and marketing are so important to a successful product launch, and we believe that rescheduling our release date will allow MechWarrior 5 Mercenaries to have the opportunity and attention it deserves.”
“While exploring our options, we saw the potential to fulfill a longstanding dream of Piranha Games. To simultaneously ship across multiple platforms, including delivering a modern MechWarrior title to console gamers worldwide.
“So after much consideration and debate, we have decided that moving the release date of MechWarrior 5 Mercenaries DLC Heroes of the Inner Sphere to Spring 2021 is the right choice.”

Although the game has been postponed indefinitely, Piranha Games is looking to use the time to be more productive. This is not the worst idea given Cyberpunk 2077 has been at the center of everyone’s attention since forever. The delay in CDPR’s game has only added to an already enormous hype.
As for Mecha Warrior 5, developers are hoping their game will keep its popularity, while they look for a safer release date in spring 2021.
The only good news would be for the console gamers. As Mecha Warrior prepares to release on console, they can enjoy both the games at different times.
