Gaijin Entertainment, the Russian-based game developer with a Japanese-sounding name, has announced a new PC-only game titled Wings of Prey. This game is a WWII military flight simulator with a pre-order page stating the game will be released in December for $39.99. Pre-orders also apparently get into a closed beta test for the game.

Wings of Prey's press release is boasting of its "Authentic World War atmosphere" with over 40 aircraft and over 50 historically accurate missions covering the air war in Europe. Players can also switch between realistic simulation and a pure fun arcade mode. Four multiplayer modes are promised along with leaderboards, VOIP support, friends lists and other features. You can also look for new plans and missions for the game to be released via download in 2010.

I'll be keeping an eye on this one. It's usually a hit or miss with flight games for me. I don't like them to be sims to the point where it's impossible to remember every control, but I don't like it to be arcade to the point where it feels like I'm playing Ace Combat or Crimson Skies. I love those games, but I prefer my flight games to be right in the middle of sim / arcade. Sort of like Freespace 2 / Allegiance.Posted at 10:44AM on Nov 6th 2009 by Redmist

Oooh goodie, do I get to completely obliterate Dresden, Nagasaki, and Hifoshima.

Also, gaijin IS Japanese, and it means something along the lines of "outsider" or "non-Japanese." It's kind of a slur. Those Russians are taking it back, like "porch monkey".Posted at 1:22PM on Nov 6th 2009 by Jose

Oh wow, yet ANOTHER WWII in Europe sim. Haven't seen one of those in years.

There's never any love for the PTO (don't give me that IL-2 Pacific Fighters crap. It was a glorified expansion pack for a sim that didn't do much more than look pretty).Posted at 8:42AM on Nov 9th 2009 by Ambaryerno
