Players will be able to alternate between tank, flight, and turret forms as they maneuver through a realistic universe that is set roughly 30 years into the future. Mastering each form will be key to victory, as each form will confer unique advantages and disadvantages in combat.

The game will be made in Unreal Engine 5, and it will feature a soundtrack by Noriyuki Iwadare, who is the composer behind the Grandia series. The game’s battle system is deep and intricate, and players will need to take more than just shooting into account to be successful.

Radar facilities, fixed artillery points, and other stations will be scattered across the battlefield, and operators will need to plan to overwhelm defenses and eliminate each of these stations to complete their mission.

The game will also feature drone companions that players can command and change their behavior according to situational analysis. Additionally, SIEG Games is considering mech customization via weapon combinations, which will greatly expand the range of tactics players will be able to deploy in combat.

For the sake of proper balancing, Project MBR will not include loot boxes or other F2P components. Instead, the game will be developed entirely through updates that are directly influenced by feedback from the community. This way, players can have a more significant impact on the game’s direction and development.
