MechWarrior Online is scheduled to bring back the beloved MechWarrior franchise this year, but while gameplay details abound, actual footage is still scarce. Today Piranha games made amends by releasing the first gameplay trailer of the game, that was premiered at GDC 2012.

The trailer unsurprisingly focuses on what Mechs do best: Shoothing other Mechs to bits.

Despite the relative simplicity, it looks definitely awesome, thanks to the glitz of the CryEngine used as a base for the game.

You can watch the video after the break. For Steiner!
