'Bomber Crew' (ALL) USAAF DLC Drops Next Week, American Edition Bundle

by Rainier on March 6, 2019 @ 3:55 p.m. PST

Bomber Crew is a strategic survival sim in which you, the player, has to recruit, train and captain a crew of your own WW2 bomber plane where the only choice is to Fight and Flight.

In Bomber Crew players must recruit, train, and upgrade their very own WWII flight team before piloting a Bomber over enemy territory. Your crewmembers only have one life, so every mission is fraught with danger as you guide the crew to victory while dodging flak fire, maintaining course through unstable weather conditions, avoiding enemy radar detection, battling dreaded enemy Aces, and more. Still you know what they say - who dares, wins. 

Every Bomber is fully customisable, with the ability to change the base colour - from gaudy pink to camo green - all the way up to upgrading its bombing capability and your chances of survival. Using the in-game tool, you can even slap your slogan on the side of the vehicle or draw your own wing art, to strike fear or laughter into the hearts of your enemies.

Recruiting, training and guiding the right crew, and keeping them alive, is vital in turning the tides of war and achieving success on your bombing campaign.

The USAAF DLC arrives following its PC release last October and features a raft of new content to keep would-be Dambusters in the skies until at least tea time. Console players will also be able to purchase a bundle featuring the original Bomber Crew and the new DLC for a discounted price, as if they needed any more incentive.

In Bomber Crew players have to recruit, train and upgrade their very own WW2 Bomber Crew, each with only one life, and then guide them to victory while overcoming the challenges of enemy flak fire, unstable weather conditions, enemy radar detections, dreaded enemy Aces and many more. Every bombing run is a risk, but the rewards are great.

Joining the fray in the USAAF DLC is an iconic American Bomber which holds more Crew than ever, and a brand new campaign set in a never before seen Theatre of War! Players will have to dig in for victory while fighting it out with all new enemy fighters and Aces while ensuring they check on the enemy below. Danger also now comes from the seas as much as it comes from the skies!

“We’re thrilled to bring the USAAF DLC to consoles for the very first time,” said George Morgan, Product Manager at Curve Digital. “Following its hugely successful launch last year, Bomber Crew has continued to pick up new players and we can’t wait for them to tuck into this meaty DLC.”

"We're delighted that fans of Bomber Crew who play on consoles can finally live out their Memphis Belle fantasies!" said Dave Miller, co-owner of Runner Duck. "We're excited to see players test their mettle against all new foes, and see if anyone can bring the whole crew home once more!"

Bomber Crew: American Edition (base game + USAAF DLC) will retail for $19.99/EUR19.99/£15.99 with a 20% discount for two weeks. Players can also purchase the standalone USAAF DLC for $6.99/EUR6.99/£5.99

Bomber Crew's second console DLC is coming to PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch on March 12th.

Key Features:

  • Choose your Crew!: Train and personalise your own Bomber Crew. Procedurally-generated names, skills and back stories means a unique experience for everyone, but be careful, as death is permanent.
  • Immersive flight simulation!: Carefully manage everything from fuel, ammo, hydraulics and more in your very own physics-based Bomber. Make it yours with a wide array of nose art and liveries, or design your own with the simple to use in-game tool.
  • Fast paced strategy!: Each mission is a high-risk expedition where danger comes from every angle. Enemy fighters, flak guns, poor weather, low oxygen and an array of other perilous dangers await when the wheels are up.
  • Be prepared!: Preparation is key for a successful mission. Tag enemy fighters before they reach you, make sure your destination is marked but most importantly, make sure you have the right team for the job. On a WW2 bomber, every role is essential for victory!

Bomber Crew is currently available for Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One and PC.
