Air combat game 'Dogfight 1942' launching on XBLA on September 5th, coming to the PC and PSN this Fall

City Interactive has confirmed that Dogfight 1942, a fast-paced, air combat game will be released digitally for Xbox Live Arcade on September 5th, 2012, and then for the PC and PlayStation Network later this fall. Fans that want a taste of the action on XBLA before committing will be able to download the first mission for free at launch.

Dogfight 1942 features three unique game modes -- Dogfight, Survival and Campaign -- each offering plenty of action that is easy to jump into. In designing the game, City Interactive implemented incredibly intuitive controls to reduce the need for lengthy tutorials and allow any level of gamer to get up and running. At the same time, the gameplay remains extremely competitive so that even the most ardent flight game fan will find a fun challenge.

In Dogfight 1942 there are more than 20 types of aircraft - from the fabled P-38 Lightning and Britain’s Spitfire to the feared Messerschmitt 109 and Japanese Kate - players are challenged with the same missions as real WWII pilots, ranging from bombing runs and dog fights to manning defensive positions such as a gunner on a bomber or anti-aircraft site.
