Korea: Il-2 Series developer 1C Games Studio announced the early access release date for the upcoming Korean War combat flight simulator.
It’ll launch in early access on PC on Steam and on the developer’s own website on June 25.
To celebrate the announcement, the developer released a trailer, which you can enjoy below.
The developer also provided a look at the HUD that we’ll be able to enjoy in the game.
HUD gauges are organized within a template grid where users of the series expect them to be. Yet, these positions can also be edited.
Each instrument has large and compact versions, and new instruments have been added. You can also create preset layouts for different kinds of missions and available instruments automatically change depending on the aircraft.
You can see a video and a few screenshots below.

If you’re unfamiliar with the IL-2 series, it’s a combat flight simulation series that debuted all the way back in 2001 with IL-2 Sturmovik, set on the Eastern Front of World War II.
At that time, it was very innovative among combat flight simulators and provided a lot of interesting features in a genre that was already starting to drop out of the AAA field into a much smaller niche. It also included a rather advanced multiplayer suite for the time.
