Earlier in the week, 1C Game Studios revealed that they would be eschewing with their usual Tuesday development blog while they prepare for a larger announcement coming next week. Get ready to speculate for the next few days while we wait for forthcoming news.

The future of the series?

Word from 1CGS is that they are preparing for major news to come next week. Here’s what community manager LukeFF wrote on Tuesday:

There will be no Dev Blog this week. But the reason is a good one: we are preparing major news for both Korea. IL-2 Series and Great Battles.

We will reveal the details next week. Stay tuned!

We know from previous reveals that the series is continuing with updates for both Great Battles and for Korea IL-2 Series.

Great Battles is expected to pick up career mode and other updates for Siege and Liberation – Odessa and Leningrad and see the first aircraft release for the Bomber DLC. Meanwhile, Korea IL-2 Series has five, yet to be revealed, aircraft promised as part of a DLC pack for the new sim. A tease at the end of a recent video has shown an Essex class carrier while an F4U Corsair and F9F Panther have been spotted in various other materials. That likely confirms two of the five with three still remaining.

We’ll likely see confirmation early next week on how all of that is coming along. Stay tuned for more! In the meantime, let’s get some speculation going in the comments. What are you expecting and what are you looking forward to?

  1. Have they already said which bomber will likely be first, or is it more of a race to see which is ready?

    Yes, I’m kind of anticipating the B-26…

  2. Let’s hope that they announce the next module will be the Battle of North Africa! Okay, that was a stretch. So much for hoping.

  3. I’m waiting for something truly unique before pulling the trigger on this one. The price is steep and there’s still some bugs to work out. An F9F might be something pushing it over the top as something actually not done in other sims (well except War Thunder but I can’t call that a “sim” per se)

    A bomber too might be nice for Korea, but I don’t think that’s in the cards. Hopefully I’m wrong.

  6. I’d like to see the core issues in Korea addressed before announcing anything new. I know they need to generate revenue to make it profitable, but seems to me that they would do this by addressing the issues as more people would be willing to take a chance on a purchase.

      They’ll have to do a bit of walking and talking with content and core. I’m hopeful that the biggest core issue I have, the AI, is going to get addressed.
