2K Announces New Sid Meier-Developed Game, ‘Sid Meier’s Ace Patrol,’ Set For Release On May 9th

My brain just collapsed on itself. Legendary game designer Sid Meier is back at it, and his latest project, a WWI-era aerial combat strategy game called Ace Patrol, is coming to iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch this May 9.

According to publisher 2K Games, it’ll be a free-to-play title that’ll tasks users with piloting a selection of “30 vintage and historical WWI aircrafts" through 120 single-player missions, apparently split across four campaigns. It’ll also pack in a two-player competitive mode via Game Center or hot-swapping on the same device.

Basically, anything Sid Meier or his studio Firaxis makes is awesome, thoughtful and deep, so I’m pretty stoked to give this a shot. May 9th is pretty soon, so the wait won’t be too long.
