First Battletech Expansion, Flashpoint Coming This November

Paradox Interactive and Harebrained Schemes today announced that the first-ever Battletech expansion, Flashpoint will be available in November, complete with three new ‘Mechs (including the Hatchetman), a new mission type, and a new tropical biome, along with its featured namesake, Flashpoints.

Flashpoints are branching short stories, comprised of procedural mercenary missions linked together with new crew conversations, special events, critical choices, and valuable rewards. To ramp up the intensity, some Flashpoint stories will feature “Consecutive Deployments” in which players won’t be able to repair their ‘Mechs between missions.
