warbirds2026iEntertainment Network, through its wholly owned subsidiary iMagicGames, proudly announces the launch of its Fall Special Events Series for WarBirds. The series begins September 27, 2026, at 8:30 p.m. U.S. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) and will feature four special events recreating some of the most significant aerial battles and campaigns of World War II.

The inaugural events will focus on the Battle of Britain and The Blitz, bringing virtual aviators together for historically inspired combat in the online world of WarBirds on TotalSims.com. The series marks another milestone in WarBirds’ 30th successful year.

Take to the Skies

Axis pilots will be able to fly some of the most iconic German aircraft of the Battle of Britain era, including:

  • Bf 109E
  • Messerschmitt Bf 110
  • Junkers Ju 88
  • Junkers Ju 87 Stuka

Allied pilots will take to the skies in historically appropriate British aircraft, including:

  • Hawker Hurricane
  • Supermarine Spitfire Mk I

Players will experience the aerial struggle from both sides as Allied pilots attempt to defend Britain against the Luftwaffe.

Recreating a Historic Air Campaign

The Battle of Britain and The Blitz were pivotal military campaigns of the Second World War. The Royal Air Force (RAF), supported by the Fleet Air Arm (FAA) of the Royal Navy, defended the United Kingdom against large-scale attacks by Nazi Germany’s Luftwaffe.

The Battle of Britain was the first major military campaign fought entirely by air forces. Britain officially recognizes the Battle of Britain as lasting from July 10 through October 31, 1940. This period overlaps with The Blitz, the sustained German bombing campaign against Britain that began on September 7, 1940, and continued through May 11, 1941.

Through WarBirds, players can experience these historic aircraft and aerial battles in an interactive online combat environment.

More Special Events Coming

The Fall Special Events Series will continue with additional historically themed campaigns and engagements. Planned events from September 2026 through June 2027 include:

  • Battle of Midway
  • Battle of the Coral Sea
  • Bombing Raids into Europe
  • Crimea
  • And more

The series is designed to give WarBirds players a continuing schedule of major historical air combat events throughout the season.

Join the Battle

Virtual aviators can participate in the special events by downloading WarBirds 2026 from Steam.

battleplanBattleplan is coming on October 12th from publisher Slitherine and developer Foolish Mortals. Back in July, we announced that we needed more time to bring Battleplan to you in its best state, and had to delay the release.

That extra time has allowed us to address the issues we wanted to fix, polish the experience, and make sure Battleplan is ready for launch.

In Battleplan players don’t command units directly in the field, they are the general, making high-level strategic decisions from the headquarters, leaving operational and tactical choices to their officers, and drawing plans directly on the map.

The game’s unique features emphasize strategic command over micromanagement, allowing players to issue high-level orders. Through an interactive planning map, commanders can draw strategies directly onto the battlefield using a digital pencil, plotting movements, offensives, defensive lines, counterattacks, and supply routes by hand. It places players in control of entire divisions and corps rather than individual squads, highlighting grand strategy and maneuver warfare. Grounded in history, the maps feature archival photography and geo-located historical elements that closely connect each engagement to real-world events.

Wishlist Battleplan today on Steam.

company-of-heroes-definitive-editionRelic Entertainment just released a new Company of Heroes – Definitive Edition trailer celebrating the 20th anniversary of one of the most acclaimed strategy games of all time. Company of Heroes – Definitive Edition launches on PC via Steam early next year.

Company of Heroes – Definitive Edition: A 20 Year Legacy Trailer

Released twenty years ago this week, Company of Heroes redefined the RTS genre through its cinematic World War II storytelling, squad-based tactics, destructible battlefields, and immersive presentation. Widely regarded as one of the greatest real-time strategy games ever made, its influence continues to be felt across the genre today.

The Legacy Trailer celebrates 20 years of Company of Heroes by revisiting iconic moments from the original game, while also outlining the enhancements coming in Company of Heroes – Definitive Edition.

Company of Heroes – Definitive Edition will launch on Steam for US $29.99, £23.99 GBP, and €28.99 EUR, with a 30% discount for existing Company of Heroes Steam owners.

The Definitive Edition includes the Company of Heroes base game, along with the Opposing Fronts and Tales of Valor expansions in one complete package. Experience visceral World War II storytelling, including all content in the base game and Opposing Fronts and Tales of Valor expansions, delivering three cinematic campaigns, four unique armies, and more than 50 multiplayer & skirmish maps.

wardogsBULKHEAD and team17 today announced that WARDOGS, its 100-player tactical FPS, will launch into Steam Early Access at 5pm BST / 4pm UTC, while also confirming the game is coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox in 2028, with wishlisting available on both console platforms from today.

The launch follows a huge response to WARDOGS’ pre-release tests, with nearly half a million unique players joining the August Closed Beta and the final pre-launch test peaking at 245,118 concurrent players on Steam. One reaction kept coming back: players hadn’t had this much fun in an FPS in years.

That feeling inspired the message behind today’s launch trailer, PLAY LIKE YOU USED TO. Paying homage to Halo 3’s iconic ‘Believe’ trailer, it celebrates an era when multiplayer games were social, unpredictable and impossible to put down.

WARDOGS Launch Trailer

WARDOGS aims to bring that feeling back through 100-player battles between three rival teams, combining tactical gunplay, vehicles, construction and destruction across three maps, each with three variations. Battles can shift from coordinated pushes to complete chaos in seconds, while local voice chat across all three teams brings allies and enemies into the same conversations, creating the unpredictable moments already driving thousands of clips, streams and videos from the community.

WARDOGS enters Early Access at $39.99 USD, with a stepped pricing model designed to reward players who join earlier in development rather than charging the planned full-release price before every major feature has been delivered.

WARDOGS is an All-Out Warfare FPS that combines tactical gunplay and combined arms combat with building and destruction mechanics in a large-scale, up to 100-player militaristic sandbox.

The game mode – Inspired by ‘King of the Hill’ – has three teams fight for control of randomized 2x2km ‘Control Zones’ within larger maps. The team with the most players within the Control Zone earns points – the first team to reach 100 points wins the match. The variables in zone location and individual player tactics mean no match ever plays out the same.

Gaijin Entertainment is happy to announce that the next major content update, “Sky Odyssey,” will be available for the military online action game War Thunder in mid-September. It will introduce new Greek aviation and ground forces subtrees, as well as dozens of other signature vehicles, such as India’s first domestically designed and built main battle tank, the Arjun Mk 1; the modern British AW159 Wildcat HMA2 helicopter; and the iconic HMS Duke of York battleship. The game will also feature a new map set in the Falkland Islands, improvements to bombers’ damage models, new MFDs and HMDs for modern aviation, and more.

‘Sky Odyssey’ Update Trailer

The new map is based on the Darwin Hill area near the settlement of Darwin, the site of fierce clashes between British commandos and Argentine forces. The archipelago’s landscape here is distinctive, with a treeless plain biome, rugged rocky coasts, and yellow thickets of gorse, making it a favorite among tourists from around the world. The buildings are predominantly single-story, and due to the harsh climate, almost every farm has its own greenhouses and fenced enclosures for poultry and livestock.

Greece’s aviation lineup spans from mid-20th-century aircraft all the way to some of the most modern combat jets currently serving in the Hellenic Air Force. The odyssey begins with the SB2C-5 Helldiver dive bomber, which was delivered to Greece in the spring of 1949. Closer to the modern era, we have the A-7H and A-7E, specialized land-based attack versions of the Corsair II developed specifically for Greece. These aircraft can carry a huge variety of weaponry for anti-tank missions, but can also attack air defense systems using Shrike anti-radiation missiles while still protecting themselves against fighters with Sidewinder air-to-air missiles. At the top of Greece’s lineup sits the Rafale EG (AESA). It’s a perfect blend of excellent flight performance, cutting-edge avionics, and the most advanced weaponry available.

Greece’s ground vehicle lineup includes useful imported vehicles such as the Soviet-made Osa-AKM and Tor-M1 SAM systems, along with the German Leopard 2A6 HEL modification — a unique variant built for the Greek Army, featuring reinforced upper glacis armor. Both the Greek aviation and ground vehicle subtrees will be part of the Israeli tech tree, and this combination will provide players with more tactical options.

A modernized “Super Lynx” development, the AW159 is a multi-role naval helicopter with a huge selection of air-launched munitions. Much like its predecessor, the Lynx, the Wildcat has a tremendous amount of speed and agility at its disposal, allowing it to quickly get into position and reposition as needed. The weapons available to the Wildcat allow you to switch roles mid-game based on your team’s needs. The Spike NLOS is better suited for destroying tanks, while the Martlet is more effective against SAM/SPAA systems, helicopters, and lighter vehicles. This makes the Wildcat particularly useful in the later stages of a match, when it can clear out enemy air defenses and give your team’s aviation more freedom to operate.

More information on the update’s content is available on the official War Thunder website.
