It appears that MechWarrior Online isn't the only BattleTech title that's coming soon to our PCs, as Roadhouse Interactive and Acronym Games have launched a new MechWarrior Tactics website that currently only features a countdown leading up to Tuesday, February 21st at 2:00pm EST. Obviously, we have no idea if the game will sport any RPG elements, but the "Tactics" portion of the title gives us hope. And, in case you were worried, it won't be a Facebook game:

Giant robots are officially a trend in 2012. The publishers of free-to-play mech FPSim MechWarrior Online just powered up a new web page for a second, separate game: MechWarrior Tactics. Right now, the only thing on the page is a countdown clock set to expire on next Monday, February 20.

Mild detective work tells us that MechWarrior Tactics is probably a Facebook game. The studios credited at the bottom of the page are social game developers Roadhouse Interactive and Acronym Games are also collaborating to create Family Guy Online. So it's probably not a successor to the squad-based isometric wonder that was MechCommander, but who'd say no to more mech games? Look for more intel in a week.

Update: Stephanie Schopp, a PR representative for the game, has emailed to let us know that MW Tactics is (not a Facebook game.) Yee-haw!

I'm not sure why PC Gamer thinks the timer leads to Monday - 6 days, 3 hours, 34 minutes, and 50 seconds leads to Tuesday for me.
