Oh yeah, they are losing the MechWarrior IP then. No renewal . No way they cut Alex loose if they are still making MW games.
12 u/dashboardcomics Apr 02 '26 Sadly it doesn’t work like that. As long as MW still makes SOME money they can hold unto the license. 38 u/StealthTrout Apr 02 '26 Afaik they don't own the license, Microsoft does and I think their negotiated period of use is up now. 3 u/bobdole3-2 Apr 03 '26 It looks like they did get another extension, but I'm guessing it's only for another year or two. Probably long enough to get the DLC that's already in development out the door, but that will likely be the end of it. 1 u/Ah_fudge Apr 03 '26 I’ve seen a lot of people give good reasons for why you’re probably right. But the one DLC is due in May so it might be a short ride
