Aces High II will follow-up on the award-winning Aces High with new graphics, terrain, physics, damage, interface, and a host of other improvements. Online play will be divided between servers running Aces High Classic -- fast paced arenas with an emphasis on player vs. player combat -- and the revolutionary new Tour of Duty.

Tour of Duty will bring to life a new online world that combines combat simulation and military role-playing in a historical World War II setting. In this structured environment, players create a persistent character who will follow a career path with either the Axis or Allies through the course of the war. These characters will be expressed through custom avatars and will receive promotions and medals, or demotions and even court-martials based upon their performance at completing assigned missions. Tour of Duty will reward both cooperative and competitive play.

"Aces High was originally launched in 2000 and since then we've made tremendous improvements and additions through 11 updates," says company CEO, Dale Addink. "It's now time for us to put our efforts into the 2nd generation of Aces High. Our goal is not just to improve the look and feel of the game but also to appeal to a wider audience. Tour of Duty will attract people who are looking for more than an online dogfight and want to take on the role of being a combat pilot in WWII."
