Prepare for a storm of Clan warfare – the first major expansion for MechWarrior 5: Clans has arrived.
Titled Ghost Bear: Flash Storm, this new campaign DLC thrusts players into the heart of Clan Ghost Bear’s ambitious push towards Terra, adding new Mechs, commandable Elementals, and high-stakes missions to the tactical mech simulation available on Xbox and PC.
Command the Silveroot Keshik
Available now for £16.74, Ghost Bear: Flash Storm picks up in the wake of Leo Showers’ death. As ilKhan Ulric Kerensky changes the rules of engagement, Clan Ghost Bear khans Bjorn Jorgenson and Aletha Kabrinski see an opportunity to seize the initiative in the invasion of the Inner Sphere.
Players take command of the Silveroot Keshik, an elite Ghost Bear unit tasked with proving the Clan’s strength and reclaiming lost glory through critical operations:
- Trial of Possession: Engage in ritual combat to claim the powerful Ebon Jaguar and Night Gyr OmniMechs for your Clan.
- Battle for Alshain: Face off against the legendary Second Sword of Light unit for control of the strategically vital world of Alshain, replete with valuable ‘Mech factories and orbital shipyards.
New ‘Mechs and Commandable Elementals
This expansion significantly bolsters the available arsenal and introduces a new unit type to command:
- 8 New ‘Mechs: Deploy 4 new OmniMechs and 4 new BattleMechs (specific models to be discovered in-game).
- Command Elementals: For the first time in MechWarrior 5: Clans, players can command deadly Elemental battle armour infantry squads, adding a new tactical layer to engagements.
- Expanded Battlefields: Take the fight beyond planetary surfaces into space and other new environments.
Expand Your Clan Wars (on Game Pass!)
This new expansion adds more strategic depth to the base game, which is readily accessible as MechWarrior 5: Clans is available to play via Game Pass on Xbox and PC!
As we noted in our 4/5 review of the base game, “Despite its complexity and challenging learning curve, MechWarrior 5: Clans is a rewarding and engaging experience. It demands tactical thinking and careful resource management… the depth and strategic possibilities make it a worthwhile endeavour for those seeking a more immersive and demanding mech combat experience.“
The Ghost Bear: Flash Storm expansion caters directly to players invested in that deep tactical experience, offering a new Clan perspective, challenging scenarios, and exciting new units to master.
If you’re ready to prove the might of Clan Ghost Bear and lead the Silveroot Keshik to glory, the MechWarrior 5: Clans – Ghost Bear: Flash Storm expansion is available now. Just head to the Xbox Store and nab a download.
