Last week Piranha Games launched the increasingly popular robotic combat MMO on Steam, MechWarrior Online, and at a following launch party the team revealed the first official details for a huge $100,000 tournament that is set to take place in Q1 of next year.
The launch party event for Steam also gave users the first opportunity to sample the upcoming VR support for MechWarrior Online, putting players directly in the cockpit as they sample the explosive combat up closed and personal.
