Combat Wings is Move's Second World War II Plane Game

You wait ages for one PlayStation Move aerial dogfighting game based on the Second World War, then another one pops up just after. Typical.

After the not-bad Air Conflicts: Secret Wars comes City Interactive's Combat Wings: The Great Battles of WWII, a game aiming for an arcade-style experience with emphasis on action as well as authenticity.

We don't know much about the game's Move controls other than this little snippet from the announcement:

Combat Wings fully supports PS Move for PlayStation 3 and allows for fluid, intuitive motion control to place the player right into the heart of the action.

Whether that means flight stick-style controls like Air Conflicts or something different, we're not quite sure. The game's due out in September, so hopefully we'll know before then.

CAMPAIGN DETAIL

The trio will encounter fierce dogfights over besieged Tobruk, sink German convoys on the Mediterranean Sea, and support Montgomery’s armored offensive at El Alamein.
