Here's a quick peek at several different versions of the Hit Squad edition of Wing Commander 1 that come from Dennis Mull's extensive collection. Hit Squad was a budget published that was responsible for a wide range of translations and rereleases for the original game. It's exactly the type...

More people should do silly little Wing Commander jokes like this one from Squishy Games. The more obscure, the better. Have a great weekend, everyone! -- Original update published on July 5, 2024

I think elements of that are generally in play, but Prodigy has gotten some *excellent* word of mouth buzz going back to season one. I'm seeing it definitely crossing over into more than just niche nerd press giving it glowing reviews. And I would not underestimate the discovery ability of...

Evil Pixel has posted a new video to highlight the plight of Wing Commander 2 for the SNES. This is a cause near and dear to our heart as we have long campaigned to help this port see the light of day. The Super Nintendo variant of WC2 was built from the ground up to be an enhanced version of...

Sure, but companies and entertainment franchises do exist to make money, so you can't fault them for that. They took a big chance four years ago launching four additional Star Trek shows simultaneously, so I have to give them a lot of credit for that. It's a new type of market that they...

There's definitely people across Asia and Europe that got it today, so chances are the show is ready for you now.

Tomorrow's a big day for sci-fi fans! The second season of Star Trek Prodigy is dropping on Netflix July 1 with a huge 20-episode slate. This unprecedented release means we'll be marathoning the show on the CIC Discord all day Monday! If you were put off by the initial marketing that labeled...

As a Wing Commander fan you're probably wondering, "What's WC3's Ginger Lynn Allen up to lately?" We've got you covered, and the answer is quite a lot! On top of a steady stream of adult content, Ms. Allen has been heavily into art lately. She has an online gallery of acrylic paintings where...

Yes, the reason that it's being delisted and is on sale is specifically because it's not compatible with the Xbox One. All games (including OG and 360 games) that are available to be played on the Xbox One and newer will continue in the Xbox store going forward. Someday people will figure...

It's time for the GOG Summer Sale, and that means some nice discounts on Wing Commander! Instead of the typical blanket discount, there are a couple tiers to the markdowns this time. Most Wing Commander titles are 50% off their typical $5.99 price. Armada, Academy and Privateer 2 are...

We've been reporting for a while now that Wing Commander Arena's days are numbered in the Microsoft XBox Live Marketplace. The game has had an incredible 17 year run, but all Xbox 360 games that aren't forward-compatible with the Xbox One/Series systems will be delisted from the company's...

Artist and designer Mike Winterbauer is well known for his classic '80s and '90s art that graced the covers of a wide variety of media. He's recently arranged some of the most famous examples to show off the variety of bespoke typefaces that he drew by hand. These include the nameplates for...

CountvonSchnaps has a brand new Wing Commander sketch, and this one is a bomber! He's created a Longbow named "Sledge Hammer" for the war effort. It's a chunky beast with lots of gorgeous details to look over. There's also an extra turret up top to fend off the Kilrathi. It was just...

CountvonSchnaps has another tough looking design to share. His latest creation is the Thunderbolt VII from Wing Commander 3. It's got lots of detail with vents and ports throughout. The forward area with engine intakes, guns and a translucent cockpit are particularly nice. Sharp-eyed fans...

They're not all the same models shown off here, but in case anyone hasn't seen them, there's a great collection of astrofossil 3D print files at thingiverse. Linked from https://www.wcnews.com/news/2022/05/25/superb-hellcat-3d-print-gives-off-wca-vibes

Here's a whole pile of 3D-printed carriers by Knight26-77. It's got your main classics from WC1-3 and their associated novels. I'm thinking the Victory is my favorite, but it's not a bad Concordia either! -- Original update published on June 13, 2024

Today we've got an awesome new animation by Mac. You can see quite a few of Klavs' famous models throughout from the large Snakeir carrier to the sleek patrol Ferret. He says he started work on it over a year ago, so he's excited to finally be able to share with everyone. I really can't...

The issue with that is that this is the losing endgame. You see it when you fail, so there's not a huge incentive to show you managing to take out the enemy fleet regardless. :)

The GamesBay has posted a bit from Prophecy Advance, and that's really got us thinking about this incredible game. We don't share enough about this pocket treasure, so I'm happy to repost it here. While there is not a flight stick that you can just plug into the Gameboy Advance, you CAN play...

I was thinking about the Prophecy Advance clip we shared yesterday, and it reminded me that regular Wing Commander Prophecy on the PC rocks too! Here's the exciting cutscene where the Midway fires its massive Nephilim plasma weapon. Did you know that if you fail the final mission and then...
