Men In Black: Most Wanted Announcement Teaser

Coatsink are delighted to unveil their next title, Men In Black: Most Wanted, with a debut teaser trailer. Coming to Meta Quest 2 and Meta Quest 3 on December 5th, Most Wanted will see players step into the iconic franchise and take on the role of a neuralyzed agent to investigate a hostile alien race that’s established itself across the US.

Based on the Sony Pictures hit film franchise that earned almost $2 billion at the global box office, Men In Black: Most Wanted will allow players to become agents. As they head out into the field to investigate – from motels, to black markets, to airbases, players will make use of a variety of gadgets and solve environmental puzzles to thwart an invasion of Earth. They will use the neuralyzer to wipe the memories of civilians and wield iconic weapons from the MIB franchise in combat sections when they find themselves confronted by hostile aliens.

To aid players in their investigations, they will have magnet gloves that allow them to manipulate objects from a distance, the Scout Bug to get access to otherwise unreachable areas and the Omni Scanner which scans valuable data and intel.

“We are really excited to announce Men In Black: Most Wanted to the world,” said Eddie Beardsmore, Coatsink COO. “At Coatsink, we are no stranger to working on iconic franchises, having previously created the Jurassic World: Aftermath series and Transformers: Battlegrounds. Adding Men In Black to that list is a great honour and we’ve worked really hard to capture iconic elements from the series in an experience that blends infiltration, investigation and combat.”

“We’re thrilled to team up with Coatsink to bring Men in Black: Most Wanted to life in VR,” said Lance Sloane, SVP of Virtual Reality at Sony Pictures Entertainment. “Once again, the team has delivered exceptional work with an iconic franchise, and we’re proud to continue pushing the boundaries of immersive storytelling alongside our friends at Meta.”

IL-2 Sturmovik Honors Armistice Day in Flying Circus Update

107 years ago, on November 11, 1918, the armistice on the Western Front of World War I came into effect, and would become the official date of the end of the bloodiest war in human history at that time. In honor of this anniversary, the team has released update 6.107, which introduces numerous new features to the Flying Circus module including the addition of Zeppelin-class bombers, various Western Front locations, landmark additions to Paris, among . Flying Circus is a collection of modules from the IL-2 Sturmovik series based on the Great War (World War I), and currently containing four volumes. A Flying Circus Deluxe Edition containing all volumes is also available along individual volumes on Steam and the official IL-2 Sturmovik website.

First, a real giant has entered the Flying Circus arena! We’ve wanted to add German Zeppelin-class R bomber airships for many years. Despite their vulnerability, they were not an easy target — catching up with or intercepting an airship flying at high altitude and at what was then a high speed was a task at the limit of the capabilities of the first airplanes. Machine gun fire did not guarantee sufficient damage to the hydrogen tanks even after hundreds of rifle-caliber bullets hit the outer shell. The situation changed only with the advent of more powerful aircraft engines and incendiary rockets.

This latest Flying Circus bundle contains:

  • 40 flyable aircraft from the rise of flight era
  • Multiple modes: pilot career mode, individual scenario missions, and a mission generator on the huge Western Front WWI map
  • Five historical campaigns:
    • Gallant Green (S.E.5a pilot of No. 56 Squadron in April – June 1917)
    • Red Knights (Albatros D.V pilot of Jasta 11 during Spring 1917)
    • Spring Offensive (Sopwith Camel pilot of No. 54 Squadron in March 1918)
    • Kaiserschlacht (Fokker Dr.I pilot of Jasta 6 in March 1918)
    • Against the Tide (SSW D.IV pilot in August – September 1918).
    • New major cities have been added to the Western Front map: Mons, Namur, Aachen, Verviers, Maastricht, Brussels, Charleroi, and more.
    • Additional landmarks have appeared in Paris: including the Arc de Triomphe and the Trocadéro Palace.
      • Railway stations and train stations have been added to many settlements.
    • QOL improvements: several minor improvements have been made, significantly enhancing the perception and realism of the map.
All of the above will be automatically added in-game with the download and install of update 6.107. For those new to the Flying Circus series, the Flying Circus Deluxe collection is now available on Steam and directly from the IL-2 Sturmovik website.
