Developer 1C Game Studios states the next game in the series will still maintain everything fans would expect. Featuring eight classic aircraft to pilot, these new models can take more realistic damage. The airspace measures in at 440x440 km airspace, which should be large enough for some incredibly large-scale battles.
The game takes place during the Korean War, which began in 1950 between North Korea and South Korea before ending in 1953. It's not a setting we see very often in gaming, and perhaps because of this, IL-2 Korea Series will have an in-game museum where players can learn more about the conflict.
