About
Immerse yourself in the exhilarating aerial combat of Project Wingman: Frontline 59, a high-octane virtual reality flight action game that puts you in the pilot’s seat of a war-ravaged Earth’s most advanced fighter jets—and challenges you to prove you have what it takes to become a true ace.
Engage in intense dogfights and large-scale ground assaults across a variety of fast-paced, action-packed game modes and missions. Discover the pure adrenaline rush of dodging railguns and geothermal weapons, striking against mechanized fortresses, and skimming the ground with gatling guns and wing-mounted rocket launchers. Experience everything from the original acclaimed Project Wingman from a thrilling new perspective—plus brand-new missions built for virtual reality, bringing the battle for the sky into a whole new dimension.
Key Features
- Scorched-Earth Solo Campaign – Fight as a mercenary in an alternate-history Earth ravaged by the fires of war. Skim the cold waters of the Bering Strait, assault tanks in the brutal Yellowstone magma fields, dive through the Redwoods to strike targets of opportunity in the Pacific Northwest—and go up against overwhelming odds.
- Six All-New Virtual Reality Missions – Take on a salvo of brand-new missions with all-new content built with virtual reality in mind. Get swept up in the dogfighting swarm of intense airborne furballs. Feel the terrain fly by as you maneuver through ground strikes and tunnel runs. Strike at awesome airships and more over the course of an estimated two to three hours of new gameplay. No PlayStation VR2? No worries. PlayStation 5 players can engage in these missions without a headset, too.
- Aerial Martial Arts – In the skies of Project Wingman: Frontline 59, high-octane action rules. Focus on your maneuvers, positioning, and pure flight skills in dogfights rather than micromanaging fuel or battling the forces of simulated physics. With over 20 different aircraft and over 40 unique weapons at your disposal, it’s perfect for those who are looking for pick-up-and-play action or fast-paced challenge.
- Test Your Skills in Conquest Mode – Fight an uphill battle against hordes of enemies, ace squadrons, and powerful bosses in a customizable territory-capture game mode drawing elements from roguelikes and RPGs. Earn money to purchase new aircraft and build a mercenary army of your own to take on increasingly difficult waves of opposition.
- PlayStation VR2 Enhanced – Take advantage of PlayStation VR2 features designed to immerse you deeper in the action. Feel the rush of a high-speed bogey flying nearby through responsive headset vibrations. Switch targets with PlayStation VR2’s eye tracking, and feel like the cutting-edge ace pilot you’re meant to be.
