Battletech: Gray Death Legion is an unreleased mech shooter game set to be published by Absolute Entertainment, and based on FASA's Battletech universe. The game was set to use a first-person perspective for the action, and is similar to Absolute's RDF: Global Conflict.

Initially announced for the Sega Mega-CD, development was moved to the Sega Saturn^[2], where it appeared in some form at E3 1995. The game was put on indefinite hold in late 1995 due to the poor state of Absolute's finances^[3].

At some point in the 2000s, a prototype of the Mega-CD version was found, which was later given an unlicensed commercial release by Good Deal Games.
