Mechwarrior Online, that, you know, blowy uppy PvP game that is currently in beta, will be achieving full launch statues in the relatively near future, Joystiq reports developer Piranha Russ Bullock telling them. So expect that to happen by September 21. In the meantime, just play the game.

Piranha Games’ latest content update for free-to-play MMO MechWarrior Online is hefty indeed. The star billing is shared by the new Tourmaline Desert and Jagermech, but a new Testing Grounds area has been added, too, allowing you to check out new gear and features before wandering into battle. You may want to take advantage of this, as Piranha has added a bunch of optional control tweaks, such as a gas pedal, a torso to legs centre, and better joystick support. On top of that, there’s a pile of consumables and cosmetic items, and a leaderboard challenge.

MechWarrior Online developer Piranha Games has detailed the contents of its latest game update. The MMO now offers rookie mech pilots the chance to hone their skills in a new Testing Ground area full of tutorials before bringing the fight to the live arena.

Mechwarrior Online’s open beta will kick off on October 29. The free-to-play mech combat sim was expected to throw open its doors in mid-October, but was delayed after closed beta testers raised concerns regarding the game’s basic stability and balance. Plenty of patches in the interim have probably resolved some of those issues, but early reports suggest MechWarrior Online is a tricky game to learn. That hasn’t stopped fans spending $5 million on it already, despite an expected full launch in 2013.

Thanks, Blue’s News.
