Player criticism works. MechWarrior 5: Clans developer made the expansion free

News

Translated with AI from the Russian original.

On November 25, MechWarrior 5: Clans received a PvP battle mode. The DLC release sparked considerable controversy.

Players accused Piranha Games of releasing paid DLC too quickly. The allegations were that the studio cut content that should have been included in the standard edition of MechWarrior 5: Clans to sell it just weeks after launch as the Trials of War add-on.

Piranha Games took note of the massive backlash against the move and decided to respond to the feedback in the only sensible way. Yesterday, the publisher made the Trials of War add-on available for free on consoles and PC, featuring a PvP mode and a cooperative Horde Mode across 10 different maps.

Those who have already bought the DLC for MechWarrior 5: Clans will receive refunds within the next two weeks.
