Your questions, answered.
Can I play right now?
The game is in an invited playtest. The playtest link may require access from the studio. This public page lets everyone explore the game and its planned offers.
Do I need to pay to progress?
The campaign, aircraft progression, and core fleet systems can be played without buying these packs. Optional upgrades add supplies, convenience, or visual finishes.
Is Operation Pass a subscription?
No. It is planned as a one-time account upgrade with no recurring charge or automatic renewal. Its weekly reward bonus applies to future eligible objective claims while the game and account remain active.
Where do purchases and saves live?
Purchases belong to a verified game account. Browser guest progress is currently separate from cloud account progress. Before switching to an account, read the in-game save notice. Account and save improvements are part of the ongoing playtest.
How will payment and delivery work?
