Officially official, Korea IL-2 Series has arrived and is now in full release on both Steam and on the official IL-2 Series storefront. It has been previously available as an early access title as the team finished up some last minute items and ironed out some of the issues with the sim. Now its out though the road ahead will no doubt see many more updates.

It has released

As reported yesterday, IL-2 Series has officially launched with their Korean War title now out of early access and available for sale via the official IL-2 Series website and via Steam.

Pricing has, as expected, switched from early access to full launch pricing with discount pricing no longer in place.

There’s been a slight change of the mix of what is on sale now with Standard, Premium and Deluxe Edition priced at $79.99 USD, $99.99 USD, and $169.99 USD respectively. That is 6, 8 and 13 aircraft respectively with the Premium including the F-84 and La-11 Collector Planes while the Deluxe includes all of that plus the five unannounced DLC pack aircraft.

Check out the official store here and Steam store here.

Carrier DLC confirmed

The last few seconds of the release trailer (embedded above) confirms that carrier content is coming to IL-2 Series. The video shows an Essex class carrier’s bow with the camera slowly panning up while a propeller engine sound increases.

An F4U Corsair can be seen with its distinctive bent wing design, as a blur, passing above as the trailer ends. Corsairs were heavily used from both carrier and land bases during the war.

Both the F4U Corsair (in one shot it appears as a -4 model) and the F9F Panther, have been spotted in UI examples as well. Those confirm two of the five DLC aircraft confirmed.

We hope to know much more very soon.
