So, Sector D2 sold out to Sony and abandoned the game.

Pack it up guys, it's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ over.

All we're getting is a PSVR Exclusive standalone next that's only three hours long. Here's hoping modders can keep the game alive and maybe find a way to complete those unfinished aircraft and missions, because we're never getting that Version 1.5 Update or the artbook now.

Update (original text kept for posterity): There is a 2.0 Beta update that's been pushed, but no new aircraft or conquest changes like what was promised, and Frontline 59 is still confirmed to be a PS5 & PSVR-2 exclusive.

The secondary sources of information about Project Wingman Frontline 59 have stated it will be on PS5 with support for PSVR2. I haven't seen any claim that it's exclusive to PS5.

My hopium is pretty nonexistant at this point, but it feels like a huge leap to say this is a sell out move. As soon as I know if we're getting an update to the original game including this as a secondary campaign, we're getting a free update and he's selling a side campaign, or there is no update and he's selling a side campaign, (or some other possibility) then I can pass judgement.

Read the description yourself: https://store.playstation.com/en-us/concept/10000702

As you can see, Frontline 59 is more or less a port of the original game but with six new missions, which can be played without a PSVR2. Whether or not those six missions will be ported to the PC is another story.

Why are you making sh*t up?

@TomBoss I'll admit I'm eating my words *now*, but that update literally just dropped with no prior signs of life from the dev team for over a year.

Why are you making sh*t up?

-Zero mention of the PS5 six frontline 59 missions
-Vague future tense talk of new planes and conquest content
-Patch notes confirm no new planes/missions/or conquest stuff(other than tweaks)

This post is less encouraging than you think it is.

At the very least it confirms the 1.5v update, so maybe in another three years we'll get the 2.0 update kekw

I'm pretty sure the 1.5 update(back when it was announced) was originally supposed to include new planes, so... meh.

I think they alluded to it there as well, but I'll take what I can get right now. Just glad to see the game hasn't become abandonware like I'd thought.

Chill out. At worse it will be timed exclusives. The devs aren't Unity management.

Finally a primary source on this:

Project Wingman is now live on PlayStation 5, and along with it comes an exclusive mission set. On top of that, we’ll be talking about our focus now going forward with Project Wingman, patch notes for 2.0, and what you can expect in the future!

-Is Project Wingman: Frontline 59 a timed exclusive? Can I eventually play Frontline 59 on the PC?
We currently cannot comment on this but we will let you know if circumstances change ASAP.

Via RB and FAN respectively.

Additionally, beta branch patchnotes for 2.0 highlights:
TrackIR support
New clouds
Buff to bombs (ammo counts(doubled for larges), radii(doubled across the board), and bomb pip turns red if an enemy is inside it)
Buffs to Hitman 2/3's AI
NEXT indicator for target selection
Cannon fire doesn't get blocked by destroyed targets as ridiculously, Should only be direct hits now.

A good bit of conquest stuff as well. Seemingly out of bounds enemies are fixed, bloom issues, and some performance improvements.

So straight from the horses mouth then? It's going to be exclusive to the Playstation, so long as nothing changes... Great. Yeah that really feels super awesome.

I doubt they sold out, they require funds and Steam sales are not great enough. I'm sure those updates shall also come to Steam...

It'll change if we PC players demand that Sector D2 doesn't leave us in the dust all because they decided to sell out to Sony. It's great that they're back but they can't be allowed to forget who the ♥♥♥♥ put them on the map to begin with.

You're way too optimistic. What exactly can we do other than whine and complain? I've already bought the game, I can't really "vote with my wallet" so to speak any more...
