Is this game still worth a look? I’m excited for microprose giving it a facelift but that’s sometime next year I imagine.

Microprose are actually working on two B17 games at the moment… B17 the Mighty Eighth which will be a VR multiplayer game and B17 the Bloody 100th which will be more similar to the older B17 games.

Both versions are gonna be awesome. The full release of the revised classic game or the new one which will be very interesting to see. Good old Microprose. Got to love 'em.

Here's some B17 stuff to get us in the mood (starts at 9:30).
