Gaijin Entertainment has confirmed that its War Thunder spin off Aces of Thunder will be available for PSVR 2 and PCVR later this year. Aces of Thunder is an aerial combat game in which players will be able to pilot over 20 different aircraft, taking part in aerial dogfights either in single player missions or online in squads.

“From the very beginning we focused mainly on VR-specific ergonomics and the immersive flight experience achievable with modern hardware. To reach these goals we have rewritten and optimized the VR-subsystem of the Dagor Engine (some of these improvements can be seen in War Thunder already, a game that uses the same engine)”, said Vladimir Dranyonkov, game director of Aces of Thunder. “We have re-evaluated our approaches to user interactions along with audio and visuals, so familiar from our previous experience with War Thunder. We also worked on addressing common comfort issues without harming the simulation aspect of aerial combat. This, we hope, will attract new pilots to our virtual skies.”

Aces of Thunder is set during World War Two with the missions spread out over Eastern Front, Western Europe and the Pacific Ocean. The planes players will be able pilot include the American P-51 Mustang, P-63 Kingcobra, the German Bf 109, Fw 190, the Soviet IL-2 attack aircraft, the British Spitfire fighter and the Japanese A6M3 Zero. Before heading into the skies, players can walk around the outside of the planes to take in the detail. Cockpits have been fully detailed too, to give that immersive feeling of being a fighter pilot.

Aces of Thunder is available to wishlist on both the PlayStation Store, and on Steam. However, neither the price nor the release date have yet been confirmed.
