Behind Apache: Air Assault is Russian developer, Gajin Entertainment; the team that created the rather good WWII air combat game, IL-2 Sturmovic. The game will feature a variety of Apache attack choppers kitted out with the latest military gizmos and badass weaponry. The campaign will take place 16 multi-stage missions involving air and ground strike operations in various real-world locations.

“No games on next-gen consoles have been dedicated to helicopter combat simulation, but that is about to change this autumn”, said David Oxford, Activision Publishing. “Apache: Air Assault offers fun for diehard military enthusiasts and flight sim fans as well as gamers who just want to blow stuff up.”

The campaign in Apache: Air Assault can be played alone, with a friend on local two player co-op, or shoot chunks out of each other on various multiplayer gametypes such as “Capture the LZ” over Xbox Live.
