While the X360 version is still on track, Ubisoft Europe has pushed back the release date for HAWX2 by a week on PS3, a few weeks on PC, and Wii release date is unknown at this point.

As a member of the ultra-secret H.A.W.X. 2 squadron, the player is one of the chosen few, one of the truly elite. Using finely honed reflexes, bleeding-edge technology and ultra-sophisticated aircraft, gamers will dominate the skies.

Use all your skills to command an astonishing array of cutting-edge technology and overwhelming firepower, delivered by tomorrow’s finest combat aircraft. From the F-35’s vectored thrust capability to the ultra-secret Enhanced Reality System, you’ll light up the skies with a suite of experimental technology available only to a chosen few.

See the enemy’s canopy shatter as your cannon shreds his aircraft. Feel the thundering impact of your laser-guided bombs as you roar close overhead. War may not be pretty, but it sure looks impressive.

From Moscow to the Persian Gulf, from the Arctic Circle to the Indian Ocean, actual high-resolution GeoEye commercial satellite imagery ensures an astonishing degree of realism.
