Battletech Goes Gothic For New Set

Okay, buckle up, MechWarriors! A seismic shift has just hit the Inner Sphere (or should we say, the Human Sphere?). For decades, we’ve known and loved the sprawling saga of BattleTech, tracing its history from the Third Succession War through the Clan Invasion and beyond. The core of BattleTech has always been its enduring appeal, even as the eras changed.

But now, prepare for something entirely new. Catalyst Game Labs has just dropped a bombshell: BattleTech: Gothic, the very first alternate universe for the beloved franchise!

Enter the Gothic Era: Familiar Yet Twisted

Forget what you know (or think you know!) about the Inner Sphere. In the grim darkness of BattleTech: Gothic, humanity has been locked in The Endless War since the fall of the Golden Age. Familiar factions, yes, but twisted and reshaped by this relentless conflict, now stand against each other and something far more sinister: the Abominations. These horrifying creatures of fused flesh and steel stalk war-ravaged worlds, barren wastelands that humanity still desperately fights to control.

Classic Rules, Gothic Twists

While BattleTech: Gothic stays true to the core rules you know and love, it introduces fresh elements to inject thrilling new moments into your games. Get ready for a darker, grittier BattleTech experience unlike anything you’ve seen before.
