Let me start by introducing myself. My name is Bryan Ekman, Creative Director and Co-Founder of Piranha Games. 14 years ago I founded Piranha Games with my business partner Russ Bullock to build exciting and engaging games that we love to play. Piranha is best known for our latest endeavor — MechWarrior Online, an online free-to-play giant robot combat game. MechWarrior Online's incredibly successful Founder's Program proved that we can work directly with our backers to help build a game for the community.
On Sep 9th, 2014 at 12:00PM PDT we invite you to join us for the reveal of our next project. It's a big one, it's going to be the largest production ever undertaken here at Piranha, and we want YOU to be part of it.
It's epic, it's online, it's sci-fi.
Just below you will find a registration form. Filling out this form will register you for our new game and grant you an exclusive in-game item when the finished product goes live. By registering now, you can also name your Pilot – yes that's right, pilot. Ok, no more spoilers…
I look forward to the future, and our journey to the stars.
Sincerely,
Bryan Ekman
Creative Director/Co-Founder
Piranha Games

Finish the game before you move on to other game projects.
Don't Pull a Jay Wilson on us

not very happy about this since CW is still not here but I guess we will see. at least open map making to the community so we can sustain ourselves.

Everytime Bryan Ekman tries to make people really interested, it just makes me cringe. Doesn't he know how little credibility he has, after the empty promises for MWO? Do we really need to remind everyone of the lame MWO Power point presentation where he went into detail about CW?

"By registering now, you can also name your Pilot – yes that's right, pilot. Ok, no more spoilers…"

Holy ****, did he say "pilot"? That's craaaazy, I can barely contain all my emotions right now! A sci-fi game with pilots, I've never even heard of that before. :o

Give it a few months and I'm sure Bryan Ekman will re-release Ridge Racer.

servers will stay up as long as people buy things community maps would at least give some reason for people to buy things.

I'm wondering if their new game will have lobbies, a tutorial, integrated voice software... you know... stuff that would have helped them rake in $$$ had they been present in MW:O from the beginning.

That's the catch 22, with MWO not being the primary focus it will even more heavily rely on money coming in to fund continued work :(
