There will also be two new “local legends” added to the game, the Junkers JU-52 and futuristic Volocopter.Īsobo has also announced that they’re adding competitive multiplayer to the game.

Next week on 7th September, World Update VI will launch with a focus on updating Germany, Switzerland and Austria in the game. So the delay has hit one of the big Flight Simulator announcements made at E3 2021 – the other being the release of the game for Xbox Series X|S – but that doesn’t mean there isn’t anything for Flight Sim fans to look forward to. Especially with the Covid-19 Delta variant prevalent through many parts of the US, they couldn’t bank on that happening this year. Paramount has decided that, where other studios are happy to do a mixed theatrical and home streaming release, they need to launch their film in as many theatres as possible to make back the money on the big budget sequel. The movie tie in will obvious work best and have the biggest mutual benefit if it launches around the time of the movie, but where video games have thrived over the last year and a half of lockdowns and pandemics, film releases have not as cinemas around the world have shut down for long periods and then only opened with limited capacities. It shouldn’t really come as much of a surprise that this is the case. We look forward to sharing more information in the future. As we have previously announced, the Top Gun: Maverick expansion for Microsoft Flight Simulator for Windows 10 PC, Steam, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox Game Pass will be released alongside the movie.

Paramount Pictures recently shifted the release date of Top Gun: Maverick to Memorial Day weekend, May 27, 2022.
