Mad About Games Studios announced today that their upcoming space combat simulator, Starfighter Origins, will be releasing on PC via Steam on April 25, 2017. Alongside the announcement, we also received a new trailer for the game which can be seen below.

The game will feature 4 single player game modes which include Campaign, Simulator, Challenge and Instant Action. There are over 40 missions which range from dogfighting to large space battles. Starfighter Origins will also include a variety of different enemies such as fighters, gunships, bombers, mines, frigates, cruiser, bases and more.

If this is your first time hearing about Starfighter Origins, here is a breakdown of the game's premise and features:

Starfighter Origins is a 90`s style space combat simulator inspired by games such as wing commander, Freespace and star wars. Combining a focus on single player action and favoring full space combat simulation over dog-fighting, Starfighter Origins looks and plays great using a Gamepad and also supports HOTAS. With a variety of single player game modes and a simple intuitive control system, Starfighter Origins offers a fun and diverse modern Space combat simulator.

Space Combat Evolved

Starfighter origins builds on the late 90`s space combat simulators with a focus on space combat. Unlike other games which which concentrate on other aspects of gameplay such as trading, infinite universes and dynamic content and multiplayer. Star fighter Origins focuses solely on the space combat and keeps the same feel and diversity of titles it was inspired by such as Wing Commander, Freespace and Star Wars.

Unique Pick up and play control system

Starfighter origins is easy to get to grips with even if you have never played a space combat simulator before. The CDF ships use a gravity drive and magnetic drive which gives much better control over the ship compared to the old rocket propulsion system. While the controls are easy to pick up and get to grips with each ship is different and will take time to master.
