I am very excited about this news, I had been hoping that someone would take on the IP and finally do the game justice. MERCS was for a long time my goto skirmish level game and it was a tragedy that support for it died just as it was gaining popularity.

After I saw this announcement I immediately went back and watched all of the BoW (OTT) videos and coverage. It was MERCS that initially brought me to BoW to watch demo games and I quickly subscribed to BACKSTAGE after seeing all the other available content.

It would be smart if the new owners of the IP would reach out to OTT for their help in promoting the game in the future…the videos produced about MERCS are some of the best they had done. (and the hand held battlefield cam is pretty funny looking at it now)

Just last week after the announcement a friend and I broke out our minis and played our first games of MERCS in years. The game is as good and as entertaining as I remember it being…should have never stopped playing
