Shadowrun Returns dev is rebooting BattleTech

Shadowrun Returns developer Harebrained Schemes is teaming up with BattleTech creator Jordan Weisman to reboot his beloved turn-based tactics series.

BattleTech launched in 1984 as a board game called BattleDroids, but changed its name to BattleTech in its second edition following a copyright squabble with Lucasfilm who'd already claimed the word "droid". The series went on to spawn numerous editions, novels, and video games. It even spawned the famous MechWarrior series.

Harebrained Schemes's upcoming BattleTech title will be the first turn-based BattleTech game for PC in over 20 years.
