One More Wanzer Profile For Front Mission Evolved: KEHEI
Around a month left before Front Mission Evolved's release and we get teased with a new Wanzer once again. This time it's the KEHEI, a Wanzer from Da Han Zhong, a faction that first appeared during the events of Front Mission 3, and given the introduction of this unit, they might play another role in the upcoming FME title. The appearance of this Wanzer is very much different from the previous ZEPHYR teased a few months back. Nonetheless, this new unit is a welcome addition to FME's growing arsenal.
Read more about this new Wanzer in the FME development blog.
Front Mission Evolved Pre-Order Bonuses
Okay, looks like our mecha trigger fingers will have to wait a little further, as Front Mission Evolved's release date has been pushed back to September 28, a full 2 weeks from the original September 14 release date. However, all is not lost as FME's devs are preparing two pre-order bonuses for those who wish to purchase the game prior to its release date. These bonuses are only available when you pre-order the game at Amazon, Gamestop, and Best Buy in North America only.
The two bonuses are the Calm and Rexson series of wanzers, both of which have existed since the first game and have been given updated visuals for FME. Like in previous games, the Calm is a multi-role wanzer while the Reckson is more sniper-oriented in design. Hit the jump to see what these classic Wanzers look like now:

E3 Front Mission Evolved Multiplayer Gameplay

Famitsu magazine's website recently released new screen shots featuring in-game appearances of various Front Mission Evolved characters, along with some background info for each one.

Front Mission Evolved and MGS: Peace Walker Crossover
Kotaku has reported that Kojima Productions announced that certain boss characters in the upcoming Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker for the PSP will drop items that can be used by the giant Wanzers in Front Mission Evolved, hinting at the PSP and PS3 connectivity between the two games. For the 360 version of FME, we suspect this will be turned into a DLC if it isn't an exclusive arrangement between Konami and Square-Enix.
We here in RR would like to think bigger regarding this partnership, so we're further hoping for something like the Shagohod featured in MGS: Snake Eater or some new Metal Gear being featured in Peace Walker becoming side bosses in FME, much like how the popular Monster Hunter's Tigrex will be appearing as special boss characters in MGS: Peace Walker. As much as the FME/MGS boss crossover is improbable, we would like to keep hoping that the possibility is still there.
That, or we'll be happy just having a Big Boss avatar for on-foot characters.
