In Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII, a title exclusive to the Xbox, players test their air-combat skills as they experience the most famous battles of World War II, from Western Europe to the Pacific. As a squadron leader, the player can fly up to 40 WWII aircraft in both single-player and multiplayer missions.“Blazing Angels gives flight-combat fans the chance to discover the most famous World War II battles around the world,” said John Parkes, EMEA Marketing Director at Ubisoft. “Tension-filled arcade gameplay and cinematic effects deliver an adrenaline rush that will appeal to a huge range of gamers, they will also be able to choose their favorite aircraft for solo missions or intense dogfights on Xbox Live.”
Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII features innovative squadron-based combat, in which each AI-wingman’s specialized skill can be used to the pilot’s advantage. During the course of the 20-mission campaign, players will evolve along with their wingmen into an ace fighting force. Spectacular graphics enhance the combat experience in true WWII battle sites such as England, Germany, France, Morocco, Pearl Harbor, Midway and Tokyo. The heroic storyline that follows the evolution of a single squadron and the cinematic presentation create moments reminiscent of favorite WWII movies. Pilots fly in close to Germany’s industrial terrain during a bombing raid or emerge from the fog and cloud cover over London to engage the enemy. Up to 16 players online can engage over Xbox Live® in head-to-head dogfights or cooperative team play between squadrons.
Developed by Ubisoft, Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII will ship in fall 2005.
