It’s been over a year since the release of the Battletech base game, and Urban Warfare is its second big DLC expansion. The cityscapes of 3025 will look fairly futuristic and the pilots are shown to comment on moving in such environments with one asking if there is a mall around. It’s also part of the season pass for the game, which will run until the end of this calendar year with a third expansion (Heavy Metal) scheduled for release in the winter.
