BattleTech Kickstarter Breaks $1 Million, Gets a Full Single-Player Campaign

battletech 09-30-15-1

Harebrained Schemes’ Kickstarter campaign for their upcoming BattleTech reboot has been steadily gaining funding – their latest milestone is breaking $1 million.

With the game reaching a million dollars in funding, fans can now expect a full single-player campaign to accompany its AI skirmish scenarios. While this is a dedicated single-player campaign, it can get that much better should the team receive more funding.


These are the next milestones in Stage 3 of BattleTech’s Kickstarter:

  • $1,100,000 – Cinematic Transitions: We’ll add short cutscenes for various events in game – such as deploying your forces to the battlefield – and for key moments in the single-player story.
  • $1,200,000 – Player-Character Origin Stories: In BATTLETECH, you’ll create your own mercenary character to star in the story. If we hit this funding level, you’ll be able to choose one of six origin stories for your mercenary commander’s career. Are you the only heir of a once noble family that has since fallen from favor? The bastard child of a famous MechWarrior? You decide.
  • $1,350,000 – Voice Acting: We’ll record a cast of talented voice actors to act as your advisers, provide mission briefings, and record battlefield emotes. We’ll also add voice acting to the animatics for important moments in the story.
  • $1,550,000: 3D MechWarrior Portrait Customization: We’ll build a complete 3D portrait customization system for you to customize the look of both your MechWarriors and your own Mercenary commander.

At the $1,850,000 milestone, Harebrained Schemes will be adding side-missions and procedurally-generated missions so that the main single-player campaign becomes completely open-ended. Finally, at the $2,500,000 milestone (Stage 4), the game will get a complete PVP multiplayer component.

If you want to fund BattleTech, you should head on over to their Kickstarter campaign.
