Crimson Skies

Dogfights and swashbuckling adventure await in Crimson Skies, an air-combat game set in an alternate-reality 1930's where planes are the transportation of choice and pirates have taken over the airways.

The year is 1937. War, Prohibition, and the Great Depression have torn apart the great country that was once the United States. Fighting factions have taken to the skies, where they battle it out for supremacy. Welcome to the world of Crimson Skies, the upcoming air-combat game from Microsoft set in an alternate-reality 1930's America where planes are the transportation of choice and pirates have taken over the airways.

As the swashbuckling air pirate, Nathan Zachary, players will fly through more than 24 objective-based missions, interacting with dozens of characters, including fighter aces and movie stars, while engaging in dogfights over fantasy locales such as the Nation of Hollywood and the Empire State. 12 planes will be available, including the Whitley and Douglas Raven and the Hughes Devastator, many of which have been modeled after actual prototypes. Crimson Skies should be ready for take-off in summer 2000.
