And it’s more Wing Commander! The new game is set immediately prior to and during the events of Wing Commander 3 but this time around players will slip into the flight suit of a rookie pilot called “Sandman,” struggling to stave off defeat at the hands of the Kilrathi. The launch trailer is a lot like the one we saw last week and admittedly drags on a bit, but the gameplay bits between the overlong and overdramatic exposition look pretty fantastic. The project is powered by the mighty Freespace 2 engine but is a fully stand-alone game with two campaigns, 55 missions, new voice actors, cutscenes, ship types and more. The fan-made, Freespace-powered Wing Commander Saga: The Darkest Dawn is in the air.Īfter ten years of work, Wing Commander Saga: The Darkest Dawn, the fan-made addition to the most famed space combat franchise of all time, is finally ready to go.
