MicroProse Announces The Mighty Eighth

MicroProse is a developer name not heard of for a while, butthey are back with a new title in the works. The MightyEighth. The Mighty Eighth will be a VR-first project (butalso playable with no VR enabled) in which you will be able to playwith nine other friends (or AI crew) as you work together to survive thewar and accomplish your missions.

Drop those bombs on the right spot, guide your crew through longdrawn out day, or the dark, moonless nights, keep your airplane intouch with the rest of the squadron and HQ as you monitor radios andcommunications. Defend your Flying Fortress by keeping those enemyfighters away from you and your squadron mates. Pilot or co-pilot thisbeast under a massive amount of stress - and enemy fire, but don’tdrop out of formation or you’re a sitting duck.

In addition to the B-17 Flying Fortress, the Mighty Eighth flew theB-24 Liberator, and that aircraft will be included as well.
