Please join us on our discord server!

We have been made aware that some owners of Dark Horizons Mechanized Corps, specifically gift and 4 pack owners, were not granted the new game, Mechanized Corps: Rebirth, automatically.

We have contacted Steam to correct this. It should be an easy fix for them, but we are not sure how long it will take to fix. If you are affected by this, it will help expedite the fix if you submit a support ticket to Steam as well.

In the meantime, please join us on our discord server for updates, games and more!

Mechanized Corps: Rebirth has been released! If you own Dark Horizons: Mechanized Corps you have automatically been granted Mechanized Corps: Rebirth so check your library for the new app. Currently this old app has an older version of Rebirth but soon we will be replacing it with the old torque version in case anyone wants to play the old game's single player content. See you on the new App and in game!

As we ramp up for the release of Mechanized Corps: Rebirth, we have released patch 0.2.2.003. This release has significant changes to the AI as well as some bug fixes. This will likely be the last time we upload the game to the old app. Join us on the new app on March 11th for future updates to the game. Full change log below.

[h2]Change log[/h2]

• Upgraded AI system to a newer version of our internal system to allow for adding new AI features easier.

As we ramp up for the release of Mechanized Corps: Rebirth, We have released the demo on the new page in anticipation of the launch on March 11th and we have pushed the new release candidate patch 0.2.2.002 to this old app so current owners can play against the new demo players before the release on the new app.

[h2]Patch 0.2.2.002 Notes:[/h2]
