The video comes in two parts. The first focuses on the campaign, showcasing what you can expect in terms of storytelling, combat, and from your wingmen.
The second part focuses on the multiplayer, which is a completely separate gameplay suite, placing you between the wings of a mercenary pilot in a variety of PvP and PvE mission types.
