Korea: IL-2 Series developer 1C Games Studio revealed the full release date of its upcoming Korean War combat flight simulator.
We already knew that the simulator would release in early access on PC on Steam and on the developer’s own website on June 25, but today we learn that the game will fully launch on August 4, 2026.
To celebrate the announcement, we also got a trailer showing off some rather promising air combat, including bomber interception from both sides.

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.
