Fast, Furious, Air Combat Action is Back With Updated Visuals, Improved Audio, and New Achievements
Prepare to take flight as today, Ziggurat Interactive — publisher of multiplatform retro and modern games — is pleased to announce a March 14, 2023 release date for their 360-degree combat flight simulator Terminal Velocity™: Boosted Edition for PC.
“Terminal Velocity was one of the most exciting and innovative shooters of the 1990’s and being able to revitalize it for a modern audience is a dream come true,” said Kate Woods, Vice President at Ziggurat Interactive. “The team has worked hard to update the game and provide the definitive Terminal Velocity experience, and one that we’re thrilled to share soon.”Mark Randell, CTO & CEO of Terminal Reality notes, “Terminal Velocity is the game that launched Terminal Reality and we’re excited to see the Boosted Edition release almost 27 years later!”
In Terminal Velocity™: Boosted Edition, players will strap themselves into a fully decked-out fighter ship and battle through nine enemy-plagued planets across the galaxy. Set in the far future, the Earth is under siege as adversarial armadas from the surrounding systems have begun to strike. As a top-flying ace from the Ares Squadron, players will take control of the fastest — and most dangerous — aircraft ever made. Outgunned and outmanned, only a true fighter can make it out alive!
Unique to most flight simulators, Terminal Velocity™: Boosted Edition puts combat at the forefront. With low inertia flight mechanics that allow players to bank, roll, and loop easily across treacherous maps, and a straightforward control layout, they’ll be thrust bow-first right into the action. To support them in battle, they’ll have access to seven destructive weapons and multiple power-ups to conquer deadly enemy fighters in the air and on the ground. They’ll feel the ultimate power of flight as they take to the skies and soar through realistic environments and put their aerial skills to the test as they travel through dozens of tunnels and underground caverns. It’s all about action, speed, and destruction!Features of Terminal Velocity™: Boosted Edition include:
- Updated for Modern Platforms: Experience the fast-paced action updated for modern platforms. Boosted Edition includes fast-texture mapped 3D flight with full 360-degree movement and 360-degree audio sounds, making for smoother gameplay, upscaled graphics and improved sound!
- New Challenges: A first for the franchise, achievements and trophies have been added, which add a slew of new challenges to face and keep players coming back for more!
- A Whole Galaxy to Explore: With over 40,000 square miles of terrain and dozens of tunnels, players will battle across nine totally unique planets, each containing three levels of heart-pounding dogfights and perilous obstacles to avoid.
- Death From Above: As players soar their way across each world, they’ll obtain seven destructive weapons, and look for life-saving (and enemy-crushing) power-ups, to help them engage in vicious air-to-air and air-to-ground combat.
Terminal Velocity™: Boosted Edition will be available for PC via Steam on March 14, 2023, with plans to launch on consoles at a later date.
