Recently, the developers of the flight simulator “IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad” made headlines again. In November, they decided to launch a new promotional campaign.
PC players on Steam are invited to check out the game for free. This installment of the franchise focuses on aerial combat during World War II. A single-player “pilot career” mode is available, where “innovative artificial intelligence will prove to be a worthy opponent.” Players will be able to fly with real-life historical units and eventually rise through the ranks to squadron commander.
In the base version, eight aircraft are available to players: among them are the 1942 Il-2 ground-attack aircraft, Yak-1 and Bf 109 fighters, and the Pe-2 bomber. The developers recommend that beginners start with a “quick mission” to get comfortable with the game.
The Steam page for “IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad” is available at the following link. The free-access promotion will run until November 16, 21:00 Moscow time. A sale is also currently running in the store, with discounts on the base game and additional content.
Earlier this year, the new flight simulator “Korea. IL-2 Series” was released.
