Mercenaries as a name covers several unrelated works. The newest active one is Mercenaries Grace, the eighth Mercenaries Saga title, set for release within 2026 on PS5, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries keeps receiving DLC, with Ashes & Ascension out now.
The eight stories grouped under Mercenaries do not describe one series. They cover four separate works that share the word in their titles, and the only real throughline is that most of them are still in progress. The most recently announced is Mercenaries Grace: Black Feathers and the Golden Right Arm, which Rideon Japan announced on September 25 as the eighth Mercenaries Saga title. It replaces the series' all-allies-then-all-enemies turn order with a one-move alternating system, adds eight Ladder Classes and a gauge move called Soul Exceed, and is scheduled for release around November on PS5, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam.
A play session at Tokyo Game Dungeon 14 on October 31, 2026, reported a hate value that steers enemy targeting, alternating allied and enemy turns, and a ladder class-change system open to any class including mage. That account put release within 2026 and said the game runs over 18 chapters across three branching storylines.
MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries is the oldest of the group and still the busiest. Piranha Games released the Chaos Reign DLC on May 27, 2026, and players linked its story to the 1994 BattleTech animated series, which was canceled after one season. The ninth DLC, Ashes & Ascension, followed on October 7, 2026, for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, and Xbox One, with an 18-mission campaign set between 3058 and 3060, 13 Clan mechs, 11 weapon systems, and five Career Mode starting factions. A free update reworked pilot traits and the interface.
Two smaller projects remain further out. AGGRO: Thaumiel Mercenaries, a third-person squad shooter from Alex of AploveStudio, opened a Steam page in September after a demo arrived around the week of June 8. Trillionaire Mercenaries of 21XX, from solo developer Morph, has an English-only demo on itch.io and a full release scheduled for November 9, 2027.
