As Aces of Thunder enters the fray, it adds its name to a burgeoning record in VR/MR gaming, which shows little signs of slowing down. Numerous excessive profile delays plague the gaming world, including Wanderer: The Fragments of Destiny, Zombie Military VR, Laser Dance, and Hitman: World Of Assassination, in addition to platform-specific hold-ups like Starship Troopers: Continuum for PC-based headsets or Ghosts of Tabor (PS VR2) and Alien: Rogue Incursion, exclusive to the Quest 3.
Immersive combat experiences await as “Aces of Thunder” drops players into two dozen iconic planes, offering flexible play options that enable squad-based adventures with friends or solo excursions through single-player scenarios set against the backdrop of World War II’s three major theaters: the Eastern Front, Western Europe, and the Pacific Ocean.
Recently, the studio presented a fresh look at the game’s interface, which can be viewed below.
The immersive VR experience Aces of Thunder is poised to take off in 2025, with planned releases on both PlayStation VR2 and SteamVR platforms. We’ll consider you knowledgeable as we learn more.
