After Square Enix cancelled the first new Front Mission in years, it’s suing the developer behind it for releasing another very similar mech game
Squa⭕re Enix claims Mecharashi uses copyrighted material made during Front Mission 2089's production

Tactics game Mecharashi is pulling a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Dark and Darker - in the se💦nse that its developer is being sued for allegedly using assets originally made for another company's game.
Square Enix had been trying to revive its mech-stuffed series for years when it announced Front Mission 2089: Borderscape in collaboration with BlackJack Studio in 2022, months before cancelling the project for unknown reasons. Years later, in October 2024, that same studio released Mecharashi in China and Japan, a very similar sounding turn-based tactics game featuring - you guessed it - lots of mechs.
.)The lawsuit also includes 11 whole pages full of screenshots comparing Front Mission 2089's trailer to stills from Mecharashi. Squeenix managed to find similarities in everything from cutscenes andꦺ mech designs to generic top-down, grid-based gameplay.
BlackJack itself didn't shy away from comparisons while hyping up its game, either. "The game adopts a Front Mission-style combat system where you can assemble mechas however you want, equip a wide selection of weapons, and choose you✅r favorite pilots to engage in battle," boasts, alongside a vague 'Coming Soon' release date.
Mecharashi might not release until all the legal dust settles, so why not check out some other 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new games releasing in 2025 and beyond.
