THQ Nordic announces
Comanche, a multiplayer helicopter flight sim that will take off into
Early Access early next year. This is them taking their first spin with the
classic NovaLogic IP they acquired
back
in 2016. They offer a
Gameplay Teaser with a look at some combat that includes drones as well as
the game's namesake Comanche helicopters. Word is: "With this setting, the new
game - simply called Comanche again and based on the legendary gaming franchise
from Novalagic - is set to take off 2020. Comanche will begin its early access
campaign and lift off as a modern, team-based online multiplayer helicopter
shooter. But that's not the only new twist. Besides your Comanche, you will also
control a small, armed drone for close-quarters combat and special duties. Each
Comanche/drone setup will have its own strengths and weaknesses and fulfill an
important role in the objective-based team-vs-team encounters." Here's more of a
description of what they have planned:
About Comanche
Comanche is a team-based online multiplayer helicopter shooter set in the near

configurations, and utilize their strengths to your tactical advantage. By
combining the old strengths with a modern multiplayer online shooter gameplay,
we bring this franchise into the 21st century.
