Gunship Origins Announcement Trailer

Take the Pilot Seat
In Gunship: Origins, players step into the role of a U.S. Army helicopter pilot operating in a contested battlefield filled with armored vehicles, missile batteries, convoys, and fortified enemy positions.

Flying iconic helicopters such as the AH-64 Apache, AH-1 Cobra/Viper, and UH-60 Blackhawk, players must plan their approach, use terrain to avoid enemy defenses, and strike quickly before the enemy can respond.

Dynamic Combat Missions
Missions in Gunship: Origins are dynamically generated, ensuring that each sortie presents new tactical challenges. Players may be tasked with destroying armored columns, escorting transport helicopters into hostile landing zones, intercepting enemy convoys, or striking high-value targets deep behind enemy lines.

Careful planning, teamwork, and quick decision-making are essential to completing objectives and surviving the battlefield.

Fly Solo or With Friends
Players can take on missions alone or join forces in cooperative multiplayer with up to eight players. Friends can occupy pilot and copilot/gunner seats within the same helicopter or coordinate as a multi-aircraft flight to complete complex mission objectives together.

AI wingmen can also assist in missions, allowing players to direct their flight and execute coordinated attacks against enemy forces.

Rise Through the Ranks
Beginning as a Warrant Officer Candidate, players progress through training and combat missions to earn promotions through the U.S. Army officer ranks.

Along the way, pilots can earn authentic military medals and awards that reflect their accomplishments and experience on the battlefield.

Accessible and Cross-Platform
Gunship: Origins is designed to be approachable for newcomers while offering depth for experienced players. Helicopters are easy to learn to fly, but mastering combat tactics and mission coordination will require skill and experience.

The game supports a variety of control setups-from keyboard and mouse to advanced flight hardware-and is optimized to run smoothly across a wide range of systems.

Gunship: Origins will support Windows, macOS, Linux, and Steam Deck. Wishlist the game on Steam.
