1C Game Studios presents the first gameplay reveal of the coming Korea. IL2 Series combat flight sim. The video shows in-game footage of the new in-game Museum mode and actual gameplay on the MiG-15 attack on the B-29 bombing force during the Korean War in 1951.
Korea is a generational leap that honors the dramatic transition from propeller-driver aircraft to jet fighters in the 1950s, featuring the largest map in IL-2 Series history and eight meticulously detailed and designed in-game recreations of historic aircraft. Built on an entirely new engine featuring enhanced damage and flight modeling, Korea delivers incredible immersion while maintaining the franchise’s signature balance of authentic simulation and accessibility. The game is scheduled for release in Q2 2026 with Early Access starting in Spring 2026. Exclusive preorder that includes Early Access feature is available at il2-korea.com.
Korea. IL-2 Series will launch at $99.99 on full release and 1C has established a dynamic discount to reward early adopters: the current preorder price is discounted to $79.99 and increases to $89.99 at Early Access launch. The Founders Edition ($139.99) includes all preorder content plus Year 1 DLC access, featuring five additional aircraft and new gameplay features to be revealed in the future.
Eight meticulously recreated player-controllable aircraft will form the core of Korea. IL-2’s roster, each constructed from real schematics, historical photographs, pilot manuals, and museum documentation. Every gauge functions. Every gunsight operates as it did in the hands of the pilots who flew them.
Flyable Aircraft:
F-86A-5 Sabre
MiG-15bis
F-51D Mustang
IL-10
Yak-9P
F-80C-10 Shooting Star
La-11
F-84E Thunderjet
Korea. IL-2‘s obsessive attention to detail extends far beyond the aircraft themselves. Dozens of AI-controlled planes — including B-29 bombers — vehicles, trains, and ships populate the battlefield with an exceedingly high level of detail, rarely achieved in flight combat simulation titles today.
Players will pilot these legendary aircraft across a 75,000+ square mile/200,000 square km) map, the largest in the IL-2 franchise’s history. It is not a modern Korea, either — the team at 1C Game Studios referenced historical maps and documents to painstakingly reconstruct the landscape as it existed in the early 1950s, even accounting for dramatic changes like filled straits and altered coastlines that transformed the region over seven decades.

Legendary Pilots, a stylised indie flight simulator focused on the life and career of a pilot, is ready for takeoff. The game will launch free on iOS and Android TODAY, while a premium PC version is officially announced for Steam, coming soon.
Built around the fantasy of growing as a pilot rather than strict realism, Legendary Pilots delivers a rich and immersive experience that blends hands-on flying with career progression and airline management. Inspired by classic games and crafted by a solo developer with a deep passion for aviation, it offers a distinctive take on the flight simulator genre.
The upcoming PC release represents the definitive premium edition of Legendary Pilots, designed for players seeking a complete, uninterrupted experience. With a stylised retro presentation, expanded career depth, and a carefully balanced economy, the PC version invites players to fully immerse themselves in the world of commercial aviation – from their first flight to building a competitive airline.
At the same time, Legendary Pilots will debut on mobile devices as a free-to-play release, making its core gameplay accessible to a wide audience while preserving the depth and personality that define the game.
In large national parks, there is not only plenty for visitors to do, but the park rangers are also on their feet all day to make the park the spectacular natural experience that attracts tourists and outdoor enthusiasts in droves.
Besides routine tasks like repairing minor damage, removing trash, or providing information, there are also some jobs that are less commonplace. In today’s mission trailer for Ranger’s Path: National Park Simulator, publisher astragon Entertainment and developer To-Go Games offer a glimpse into some of these.
Alongside everyday tasks and callouts, several main missions await players in Ranger’s Path: National Park Simulator at the start of the upcoming Early Access release. These missions unlock new park areas and their associated tasks, visitor groups, and of course, additional flora and fauna. Divided into several sections, main missions not only represent game progression upon completion, but also provide some entertaining variety to the virtual ranger’s daily routine.
To give some examples, during a regular trail opening the rangers might pick up the traces of a missing hiker who desperately needs their help to get back on the right path, or they might search for the visitor center’s popular mascot, a small racoon, that has gone for a stroll through the park and is now causing plenty of chaos.
Things get more serious in other main missions, which involve clearing storm damage and repairing an important bridge, or when poachers are lurking in the park and setting traps that can be dangerous not only for animals but also humans.
Today, with the blessing of the God Emperor, Owlcat Games launches the alpha of the upcoming CRPG Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy on Steam. Founders who purchased either the Developers Digital Pack or the Collectors Edition will become faithful members of the Inquisition in the Calixis Sector and investigate cults, conspiracies and other mysteries threatening Humanity.
In the alpha, players will team up with several acolytes of the Inquisition — and even some Xenos, if that’s what it takes to pursue their ambitions. Among the group of available companions are a Kroot outcast, a deadly Medicae specialist, an Ogryn with higher than average intelligence, and more. With 10-15 hours of estimated playtime in the alpha, players will learn the basics of the revamped combat system, get to know the ins and outs of the Inquisition and uncover mysteries with the new detective system. As part of the Holy Orders of the Emperor’s Inquisition, players must look for clues, interrogate suspects and come to conclusions — and woe betide those found guilty!
Inquisitors will experience how the world around them changes with their decisions: characters will remember who you accuse, who you spare, and how you behave. Storylines and even the environment itself will be altered by the consequences of their actions.
The alpha also showcases a number of improved gameplay features: movement on the map is much more vertical than it was in Rogue Trader and the combat system offers new tactical options, like suppressing an enemy by attacking weak points, or breaking their resolve without killing them. This gives players even more new paths and opportunities to play the game their way.
The alpha will stay open for several months; fans can join at any time by becoming Founders. Player feedback will be integrated into the beta and final version of Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy.
Developer and publisher Funcom revealed today the first details of Chapter 3, the next free update coming soon to Dune: Awakening, the open world survival game inspired by Frank Herbert’s Dune as well as Denis Villeneuve and Legendary Entertainment’s blockbuster movies.
Chapter 3 Free Update: Bigger and Better Endgame
Most of the improvements and additions in Chapter 3 come directly from player requests and feedback. One of the most popular requests has been providing players with more avenues for progression once they reach tier 6. Chapter 3 aims to deliver on that, providing players with deeper choices and more meaningful ways to advance in both PvE and other playstyles.
“We know players want a richer experience late in the game, and this update lays essential foundations for what’s coming next,” said Joel Bylos, Creative Director on Dune: Awakening. “We’ve rebuilt the Landsraad system from the ground up, added new ways to earn rewards whether you play solo or in groups, expanded faction ranks, and introduced the new Specialisation system. It also includes new locations in the overland with brand-new missions and unique repeatable Testing Stations with escalating difficulty for additional rewards. Our goal is to give players more options in the late game than ever.”
That’s far from an exhaustive list. A massive amount of changes, improvements, and additions make Chapter 3 the biggest update to Dune: Awakening since launch.
Combat also sees several improvements alongside the introduction of the Dual Blades, Pyrocket, and a full Rapier rework. For those who can’t wait to see where the main story goes, Chapter 3 picks up where Chapter 2 left off, offering hours more story-driven survival gameplay.
Raiders of the Broken Lands Paid DLC: More Stuff to Build With
Releasing at the same time as the free Chapter 3 update is Raiders of the Broken Lands, included at no extra cost in the Season Pass. This DLC responds to one of the biggest player asks: more stuff to build with! This comes in the form of a whopping 73 building pieces and 17 decorations inspired by the Imperium’s Smugglers, as well as a dedicated stillsuit set, a light and heavy armor set, weapon variants, swatches, and emotes.
Here’s a visual overview of what’s coming in the Chapter 3 free update and the Raiders of the Broken Lands DLC:
