Greetings MechWarriors,

Much news has appeared in the last couple weeks with MWO! This includes the newly launched MechCon 2018 Page with already-sold-out VIP tickets and 61 Collector tickets remaining, a whole new set of rules for the upcoming MWO World Championships 2018, the Roadmap to give you a snapshot of what's coming in the next 2 months, big events and sales currently in progress, a community-voted poll on 8v8 in Quick Play, and an informative post from Lead Designer Paul about future tuning and development for weapon balance along with a community feedback thread from Balance Designer Chris!

We've got an exciting long awaited feature to share with you as well as the release of a long-awaited 'Mech! Lots of improvements to a couple of features, value changes, and many bug fixes, which you can enjoy reading about in details below.

Greetings MechWarriors!


The Blood Asp is here and it's already causing a stir! With a Solaris 7 Division 1 placement and some last minute manufacturing tweaks (shoulder cannon size correction), players will see the Blood Asp roll out in style. Look for a Quickplay 'Mech Challenge for Blood Asp owners starting on May 17th.

The Solaris City map is here! Teased at Mech-Con the look of the map is unlike anything currently in rotation. I don't know about you, but I'm betting this Vegas looking map is going to popular! Remember: What happens in Solaris City...does not stay in Solaris City.

We also have New Bolt-ons, and more 'Mechs supporting Bolt-ons(The Ghillie Bolt-ons are one of my favorite new items in our game)! All this with tons of tuning changes and a handful of bug fixes round out the patch! Read on for all the details!


See you on the Battlefield,

The MechWarrior Online Team.
