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.
