Do you love giant robots? More specifically, do you love building a giant robot, sending it into battle with other giant robots, and wreaking general havoc along the way? If so, you’re probably familiar with the MechAssault franchise and its developer, Day 1 Studios. Who, by the way, have just announced a brand new game.

Yes, it has mechs.

The new title, christened Reign of Thunder, is a brand new mech-based IP that the dev team is promising will be “hard-hitting, fast-paced, explosive” and other descriptive words as well. The team at Day 1 is also promising deep customization options for player mechs. Day 1 hasn’t jumped into the mech fray since 2004’s MechAssault 2, working instead on titles like F.E.A.R. and Fracture. Then again, 2012 seems to be the year of the mech, with a new Armored Core inbound and Day 1 returning to its roots.

If you’re curious about the new game, check out the announcement trailer right here:
