In the near future humanity’s hunger for mineral resources and fossil fuel has only increased, and a newly discovered chain of islands offers an abundance of both…to whoever can take control of them first.
Your mission: Command a mighty carrier ship, multi-role aircraft, amphibious tanks, drones and more as you attempt to establish a secure network of bases within the archipelago.
Unfortunately, you are not alone.
Every step of the way, you will be competing against rival AI or human carrier commanders whose technical capabilities are a match for your own, are every bit as determined to succeed, and have no qualms about blowing you out of the water!
Success or failure will come down to not just superior overall strategy but also the chance to turn the tide of the battle by assuming direct control of individual vehicles to defend your bases or stage a direct attack on your enemy!
Carrier Command 2 combines sophisticated real-time strategy with detailed vehicle simulation, allowing the players to choose exactly how and where they focus their attention. This unique blend of gameplay also makes for a huge amount of replayability.
MicroProse announced that Carrier Command 2 will be released for PC (Steam) on the 10th of August, and will sport a VR version.
In the VR edition, players can control all the same systems, vehicles, and controls, from the bridge of the ACC Epsilon Carrier. They can use VR controllers to move and interact with controls, and remote pilot vehicles. Use the holomap with 3D vision. Play single-player, cooperative campaign, and PvP multiplayer!
Because Carrier Command 2 and Carrier Command 2 VR are such similar games, we don't expect players to pay twice - we are packaging both together, so when you own one version, you own both.
This is the same game, with the same balance and same mechanics. The exciting aspect about this is - CC2 VR will be multiplayer compatible with CC2!
Carrier Command 2 is Strategy, Planning and Teamwork on a scale that is both engaging and manageable. True to MicroProse's heritage, Carrier Command 2 is all about meaningful decisions.
- Strategize: Gather intel from your vehicles’ radars, pick your tools of the trade, and launch your attacks where the enemy is weaker. The approach you take to a situation will play a big part in the outcome.
- Plan: Once you have taken an island you will need to exploit and defend the resources it provides. Ensuring these supply lines remain open will be key to your survival. Think ahead.
- Teamwork: Make the most of different unit synergies and create combined arms assaults to efficiently win battles. On top of that, get into each and every vehicle and take part in the action. Lead from the front!
You are in command and the mission is simple: conquer the isles of the Archipelago making the most of the combined arms army that you have on board. This is what Carrier Command players from the '80s were experiencing and this is what MicroProse is bringing back in this modern and ambitious remake.
