The good people at GameTap have published an article on upcoming games... and Wing Commander II: Vengeance of the Kilrathi is included! GameTap is a subscription service which gives access to an ever-increasing licensed collection of classic(and modern) video games. The titles are pre-tuned to work on modern systems, so there's no fooling with emulators or slowdown utilities. Wing Commander II is currently scheduled for an October 11th release - and we'll be counting the days. Wing Commander I and Wing Commander IV are already available through the service, and Privateer has been advertised as a future addition... so subscribe today! What a great year this has been for Wing Commander. -- Original update published on September 19, 2007
My, my, WC really gets the good treatment it deserves this year. I envy all with a gametap account. Are the add-ons also included? And are they the original versions or the KS versions? (as far as we know from the WC1 service...)
I probably don't need to add how awesome this is, but that doesn't change the fact that it is very, very awesome.
Wing Commander 3 is winning our poll, and since they've done 1, 2 & 4, I would say that's certainly a possibility. With how they've gone and tried to fill out other franchises, it would seem to me like they will want to do the same for WC. I still have hope we'll see Privateer before long as well.
