Prophecy, Armada & Academy Included in Unusual Weekend Sale (May 31, 2025)

[ChrisReid]

We love discounts on Wing Commander almost as much as we love diving into peculiar minutiae, so GOG has us covered on both fronts this weekend with their Loot Drop Promo. I can think of plenty of games with loot from classics like Diablo to modern looter shooters like Destiny or The Division. I can't quite figure how Wing Commander quite fits into that mould, but the good folks at GOG decided to included Wing Commanders Prophecy, Armada and Academy. Armada Proving Grounds does include in-flight loot pickups you can grab, but that's kind of a deep cut! In any case, grab these three at 59% off by Monday!

Does it count when you can tractor beam ejected pilots? 😅

Hehe there's actually this odd meta that evolved from Wing Commander Academy's marketing bullet points... for years it was classified as a "rescue game" by some prevalent SKU system out there because there was this specific language about picking up ejected pilots and escape pods.

But Wing Commander Prophecy is a mystery entirely! It doesn't even have a functional tractor beam... but I guess you have the pilot rescue mission and the drone hunt... maybe...
