Paradox Interactive will publish Battletech

Paradox Interactive has announced that they are partnering with Harebrained Schemes, developer of such games as Golem Arcana and Shadowrun Returns, to publish turn-based mech title Battletech (originally funded via Kickstarter), and on top of this we also have a new trailer for the game as well.

"We couldn't miss the chance to work with Harebrained Schemes given how big of fans we are of their work on the Shadowrun Returns series. The opportunity to reintroduce our strategy-minded players to the tactical roots of the BattleTech universe makes this partnership even sweeter," said Johan Sjöberg, Chief Product Officer of Paradox Interactive. "We are as excited about Battletech as the early backers are, and we can't wait to do our part to bring the game to market."

"We at HBS have enormous respect for the long history of quality strategy games that Paradox has published and we are proud to have Battletech become part of that history," added Jordan Weisman, CEO of Harebrained Schemes. "We are confident in our ability to create a game worthy of the MechWarrior franchise's legacy and are really excited to have Paradox's expertise as a publisher to help us present Battletech to the widest possible audience."
