cobaka Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Ubisoft today announced Storm of War: Battle of Britain for the PC. The WWII flight game is being developed by 1C: Maddox games, who worked with Ubisoft previously on IL-2 Sturmovik and Pacific Fighters. Storm of War: Battle of Britain is about the air campaign over the United Kingdom (Operation Eagle) with realistic damage models and state-of-the-art flight simulator "The Maddox series of flight simulators became instant references of the genre and we know that PC gamers are eagerly awaiting the next occasion to ride the skies," said Tony Kee, vice president of marketing for North America at Ubisoft. "Storm of War: Battle of Britain guarantees a thrilling ride; it is the genuine heir to flight simulator hall-of-famer IL-2." "We've invested our time and talent to create new technology so players will be stunned by the quality of Storm of War: Battle of Britain," said Oleg Maddox, creator of the acclaimed IL-2 series. "Our collaboration with Ubisoft has been very fruitful and we're sure that gamers will be excited to join the 'proud few' in this recreation of an important battle of the Second World War." Storm of War: Battle of Britain will release on PC in November 2006. http://biz.gamedaily.com/industry/news/?id=12693 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sup Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Cool, good to see Ubisoft can suspend their evil empire side when they notice a market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serellan Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Where are the requisite WK "Ubi sucks and I will never buy their games," and the requisite Sup "Ubi does good business and WK doesn't know what he's talking about." posts?

Actually, Oleg Maddox is the only reason why I would consider purchasing another Ubi game, but I have heard in a round about way that Ubi will not be publishing this but 1C Publishing will. I have been known to be wrong before, but it will be interesting to see who really does publish it. I still haven't bought any Ubi games outside of the iL 2 series since Silent Hunter III and SC: Pandora Tomorrow before that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
