Konami and Gaijin Entertainment announced Birds of Steel, a realistic WWII air-combat experience for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.
Birds of Steel lets players fight in the most important air battles of WWII including the battles of Midway, Guadalcanal, Coral Sea, Siege of Malta and the attack on Pearl Harbor in both single-player campaign and multi-player gameplay.
In Birds of Steel’s unique online features, players can support cooperative missions with friends, or take-off in the versus arena with up to 16 other pilots to see who really owns the skies. Pilots can participate in team death matches, cooperative strike campaigns, “Capture the Airfield” missions or even tournament play (requires Xbox Live). Players can also claim bragging rights among friends by viewing and sharing replays of their battles!
Birds of Steel lets players take to the skies in over 100 famous fighters from the entire axis and allied forces, including the Spitfire, P-51D Mustang, Zero and even the Messerschmitt 109. Participating in missions as a pilot in the American or Japanese Navy, Army or Air Forces, players experience lifelike aircraft damage, cockpit views and flight controls. As players complete missions, new planes are unlocked, with the ability to use the aircraft in the multiplayer arena. Players also have the ability to see how their actions affect the entire theatre of battery operations, as ground troops and artillery batteries react to the ensuing air battles and squadron missions.
