Microsoft clears the free release of Mechwarrior 4

Microsoft Legal has given the “OK” for MekTek Studios to release a free version of Mechwarrior 4. In a recent announcement, the studio said the permission to launch couldn’t have “come at a better time” considering the Mechwarrior “community is attempting a rebirth.” The studio extended its thanks to Microsoft.

Earlier this month the free release of Mechwarrior 4 didn’t seem like a given. The studio stated over its website that Microsoft was “holding up” the release of the game and MekTek was unsure when it would finally clear. No word on when the title will finally be released was mentioned this afternoon, but we’re guessing soon.
