It's indisputably a PGI original now that we've got a larger uncensored picture available. It's not even remotely close to the Deimos or Thug or whatever people are still guessing.

IMO its design reminds me of the Hawken mechs.

Gotta be. Such a perfect fit.

[Khobai]

it has more in common with a turkina than a crusader lol

crusaders have hand actuators and theres clearly no hand actuators on that mech

definitely is not a crusader

Not even close, not in terms of physical design or weapon loadout (no way in heck can a 30-ton light handle that UAC/10 + 4 SRM6 + whatever laser payload).

It's too well put together for that.

Looks decidedly like a MechWarrior 'Mech to me.

Looks too rugged to be a Clan 'Mech.

Some on Reddit have suggested it might be a reimagined Avatar. Maybe after a few shots...

Someone on reddit just said it's a Fafnir. How many bottles is that?

Enough to kill an elephant.

I dont think its anything canon.

All the mechs it looks like, dont have the x4 SRM6 missile loadout. Or they have hand actuators.

[Pariah Devalis]

Reverse knee configuration. Either 4x SRM6, UAC10, and a laser of some sort, or 2x LRM10 instead of the SRM. Unsure since the blacked out shot kinda covered a portion of the left arm, there. Parts of it vaguely remind me of the Falconer. Specifically around the center torso. However, nothing else about it matches up with any existing mech, so almost certainly homebrew design.

The size of the weapon tubes relative to the size of the cockpit, and how short the legs are... is that is a light mech?

I'm thinking medium, or a heavy on the lighter end of the spectrum. Probably medium.

Look how large the laser is, just comparing it to ingame stuff now and I'd put money on a 35-40 tonner

Looks spot-on for a 45 tonner, IMHO.

4x SRM6 + UAC/10 (plus whatever is in the unpictured left lower arm) is really pushing it for a 45-tonner, even if using Clan tech and a tiny engine.

I'm just saying, the scale they gave it makes it look like it's 45 tons.
