1С Game Studios has announced the exact release date for early access to the game "Korea: Il-2 Series". It will be June 25, 2026, and the pre-order will still be available until release, the date of which will be announced later.

"Korea" is a next-generation game in the "Il-2" series. It is built on a new engine, using an updated damage and flight model.

Players will have control of eight meticulously recreated aircraft from the era, based on actual blueprints, photographs, and documents:

★ MiG-15bis
★ Il-10
★ Yak-9P
★ La-11

★ F-86A-5 "Sabre"
★ F-80C-10 "Shooting Star";
★ F-84E "Thunderjet"
★ F-51D "Mustang"

In addition to the player-controlled aircraft, dozens of machines are present on the battlefield and in the sky, including B-29 bombers, as well as meticulously crafted ground vehicles, trains, and ships.

The action takes place on the largest map in the series' history — over 200,000 square kilometers. This is not modern Korea, but a region recreated from historical documents from the early 1950s. The map features dozens of airbases with authentic layouts, hundreds of settlements, ports, and dams. All of this is connected by an extensive transportation network.

Other features of the game:

  • "Museum" Mode. A personal hangar where you can explore cockpits, controls, and the history of the equipment.
  • "Career" Mode. Command a squadron, manage personnel, logistics, and read the news of the time.
  • Accessibility. Detailed system management for enthusiasts, but without the need to memorize complicated sequences of actions.
  • Equipment support: gamepads, desktop joysticks, HOTAS systems, VR through OpenXR and OpenVR.
