News: An air combat action game based in on historical events of volunteer squadrons in WWII is getting ready to arrive on Xbox One.

Ace Maddox has revealed that Flying Tigers: Shadows Over China is being released on the Xbox One. Flying Tigers: Shadows Over China (FTSOC) is an air-combat action game based on the historical events of America’s volunteer squadrons that defended Southeast Asia in the China-Burma-India (CBI) Theatre of World War 2 (aka the Second Sino-Japanese War). Secretly recruited under President Roosevelt’s administration before the US entered WW2 following the Attack on Pearl Harbor, the “Flying Tigers” were officially known as the 1st American Volunteer Group (AVG) and consisted of three pursuit squadrons with only 99 P-40 fighters.

Some of the game’s features will include the following:

RARELY DEPICTED AIR-BATTLES OF WORLD WAR 2

Action-packed single-player campaign recreates the clandestine operations of the American Volunteer Group in fighter, bomber, gunner, reconnaissance, torpedo, and night missions.

APPROACHABLE TAKE ON AIR-COMBAT

Features TrazerTime slow-motion firing, arcade-like combat maneuvers, sim-style pitch & roll controls, moody weathers (including thunderous monsoons, beautiful sunsets, and misty dawns), 20+ Allied and Japanese planes, and more.

MULTIPLAYER FOR 2-16 PLAYERS

Xbox One leaderboards eternalize players’ online rankings across five battle modes. Coordinate devastating air-attacks in Team Dogfight while providing cover for your comrades, outdo all enemies using powerful rocket weaponry in Rocket Battle VS, or take to the skies and “Capture the Flag” in the Flagbusters mode.

FLY IN COCKPIT OR THIRD-PERSON MODE

Soar through the skies of Southeast Asia in third-person or cockpit view in a variety of American, British, Russian/Chinese, and Japanese aircraft.

STRIKING RENDITION OF THE FAR EAST

Faithful environments, beautiful graphics, booming sound effects and an epic-orchestral soundtrack create a lasting impression of the China-Burma-India theatre.

Published and developed by Ace Maddox, Flying Tigers: Shadows Over China will be available on the Xbox Store in 12 languages: English, Spanish, French, Polish, German, Portuguese-Brazil, Chinese (simplified and traditional), Russian, Italian, Czech, Turkish, and Japanese.
