Yes, a new MechWarrior game is in the works. This was confirmed by co-creator Jordan Weisman in an interview with IGN alongside the release of a concept trailer.

The game, simply called MechWarrior, is apparently a reboot of the series and focuses on a family serving House Davion at the end of the Third Succession War. It'll follow the action-sim style of previous games and will heavily integrate information warfare. Multiplayer modes such as 4-player co-op are also being planned along with cross-platform play.

It's currently being developed by Piranha Games for PC and Xbox 360 in collaboration with Weisman's Smith & Tinker company. There's no publisher attached to this game yet, but hopefully the concept trailer snags a few offers. You can check it out below.

Like the idea above there too a customisation system like Forza or Moto GP (vynil based livery that you make up from bits and pieces) would be awesome.

I'd love a reboot of it, also I'd love them to redo the other games that used the Mech Warrior engine like Interstate 76 and Interstate 82.

I loved those games, I know you can buy Vigilante 8 on XBL Arcade but it doesn't have the same simulator feel that Interstate 76 and 82 had.

So who knows maybe after they have a win with MechWarrior we might see another Mech Warrior in cars type game (like Interstate 76).

Playing this in one of those VR pads, getting shaken around every time your hit by a missile....beautiful. Gives me another reason to want to build one.
