The mechs of BattleTech will finally fight some proper kaiju in its first-ever spinoff alternate universe

Tabletop wargame BattleTech is getting its first real alternate universe in its 40 year history, and it’s a pretty obvious one: If you have a giant robot, well, why should it not fight a giant monster?

BattleTech: Gothic is an alternate timeline for the world of BattleTech, one where endless and unrestricted warfare among the great houses of the Inner Sphere has led to a scorched human landscape stalked not just by giant mechs, but by Abominations—”horrible creatures of amalgamated flesh and steel.”
