In Ground Of Aces players will be able to build and micromanage a World War II air base that is inhabited by a diverse cast of pilots and crew members.

It is the dawn of World War II, and you take command of a remote military air base.

Engulf yourself in the Second World War and experience its battles from the perspective of your air base crew. It is your responsibility to make sure everybody is physically and mentally prepared to fulfil their duties.

Build up and manage a World War II air base. Your personal home for your planes and your crew members. Complete freedom of how you want to build. You will plan and place every wall.

Enjoy a variety of accurate fighter airplanes. A joy for aviation aficionados who know the difference between a Hurricane and a Spitfire. But consider: bigger airplanes will need bigger infrastructure. So make sure you can house some of WW2's most impressive airplanes.

Experience personal stories of your air base crew members. On your base every person matters and has their own personality. The game takes huge inspiration of the everyday life of airplane bases in remote locations and how it felt to live there, in good and bad times.

The game is built from the ground to look like a living and breathing comic book (homage to the “ligne claire” style of Franco-Belgian comics like Biggles and Buck Danny), bringing the style of these timeless art pieces to life. From Bergèse to Hergé, the attention to detail and love for planes of the old masters is what we strive for.

Swiss-Polish indie developer Blindflug Studios announced that Ground Of Aces will launch in Early Access on July 10, 2025.

Following the release of the playable demo earlier this year, the team is now ready to take the next big step. Executive Producer Moritz Zumbühl explains: "Over the past few months, we've worked closely with our community, and we're incredibly excited to launch the Early Access version of Ground of Aces exactly on the 85th anniversary of the start of the Battle of Britain. July 10 is our D-Day – and we can't wait to send players on their mission."

Key Features:

• Engulf yourself in the Second World War: Step into the shoes of an air base commander and witness the war from a new perspective. Build and defend your base, send pilots on critical missions, and play a vital role in shaping the war effort.

• A base builder at heart: Design and expand your air base with complete freedom. Your base is laid out by your own choices and thus unique.

• A dream for aviation enthusiasts: Take command of a fleet of historically significant aircraft. Carefully select the right planes for each mission, maintain your fleet, and ensure your base is always ready for action.

• Your crew’s personal stories: Your crew is more than just numbers—they are individuals shaped by war. Witness their struggles and triumphs, and feel the weight of every loss.
