Following its release on App Lab in March, Warplanes: Battles Over Pacific will fly to the Oculus Store for Quest 2 in August.
The game is listed in the “Coming Soon” section of the Oculus Store, with a August 18 date attached. Battles Over Pacific is a sequel to Warplanes: WW1 Fighters, announced and released in early access on PC VR and via App Lab for Quest in March.
As you might expect from the title, this sequel takes the Warplanes series to World War II. You lead the US to victory over Japan in the main campaign, or take part in co-op missions and competitive multiplayer. It will feature 10 specific aircraft, two of which were unveiled in the latest update: F8F Bearcat and J2M Raiden.
In the same update, developers Home Net Games also made some changes to multiplayer and ranked play, adding 60 decals to unlock and customize your planes as you level up. Fighter aircraft currently remain in early access on steam and it’s likely (but not confirmed) that this August 18 release will mark the game’s transition to full release there as well.
This isn’t the only upcoming Home Net Games title on our radar, either. During our Upload VR Showcase last month, the studio also announced a VR helicopter game titled HeliSquad: Covert Operations. It will be out for PC VR, Quest 2 and the Pico Neo Link 3, but other details are small for now.
Warplanes: Battles Over Pacific is now available for wishlist on Quest 2. You can read our review of the original game, Warplanes: WW1 Fighters here.
