The global launch plans for IL-2 Series are coming into focus with the Korean War focused combat flight sim title launching tomorrow across the world. It will arrive at 09:00 PDT in Los Angeles’s time zone, 12:00 EDT in New York, 13:00 BRT in São Paulo, 17:00 BST in London and 18:00 CEST in Stockholm. On the other side of the world we have 20:00 GST in Dubai, 21:30 IST in New Delhi, 01:00 KST in Seoul and 02:00 AEST in Sydney.
As a reminder, IL-2 Series is launching with a Standard Edition and a Founder’s Edition. The standard edition includes 6 base aircraft (F-86A Sabre, MiG-15bis, F-51D Mustang, Yak-9P, F-80C Shooting Star, and IL-10) as well as 2 Collector Planes (F-84E and La-11). There are unique aerobatic team liveries for the MiG-15, F-86 and F-84 and unique Great Battles liveries unlocked for the La-5 and P-51D.
Founder’s Edition includes all of that plus 2 exclusive liveries (released later in the year) and the series first DLC pack which contains 5 yet to be revealed aircraft. On the unrevealed aircraft, we know that the F9F Panther and F4U-4 Corsair have been spotted in earlier materials and are likely to be part of this pack. An Essex class carrier has also been spotted in a developer screenshot so carrier naval operations is anticipated at this point.
Standard Edition is still up at $89.99 early access discount and that is expected to increase to $99.99 USD tomorrow. Similarly, Founder’s Edition is currently priced at $149.98 and will likely increase to $179.99 USD tomorrow.
The title is available from the IL-2 store right now or you can Wishlist it on Steam with purchase unlocking tomorrow. Its unclear right now if the early access discounts will be available on the Steam platform or not – I would assume not at this point.
So, look for all of that to happen tomorrow! A developer diary report is also expected tomorrow and we may start to learn more about what comes next for the sim.
