Day 1 Studios has announced AAA, Free-to-play Mech Combat game Reign of Thunder. You may remember Day 1 as the developers behind Mech Assault, a title that Microsoft used in the early 2000′s to promote their fledgling Xbox Live service. It seems that Day 1 are returning in a big way to the genre they’ve been known for.
The game’s Creative Director and Executive Producer, TJ Wagner said,
It feels great to return to the Mech genre and community we’ve played games with and made games with, for almost two decades. Combining the customization and RPG elements of the early MechWarrior PC and board games with the fast paced arcade action of the MechAssault series and making it all Free-to-Play is an exciting opportunity to be part of. I’m dying to get Thunder in the hands of new and old Mech pilots alike and battle it out. The best part is that time is very, very near.
And if that’s not enough, check out the awesome trailer below for your first look at Reign of Thunder in action.
