Have you been pining for massive mech destruction? Well, good news then. Piranha Games Inc. announced that MechWarrior Online entered closed beta as of May 22, 2012.
The closed beta access will be limited to an invite-only basis, of course, but don’t lose hope yet!

So if you know that you’re going to be playing MechWarrior Online, these packages are probably great news for you. They go on sale June 19th, so get ready!
We still don’t have any word on when MechWarrior Online is officially launching, so we can’t say how much early access time you’ll get before the crowds rush in, but the release date is definitely getting close!
