“The beginning of the trailer starts off with a nice sunny blue sky and ends in a dark and rainy mess”, he said, with the battlefield transformed by a “storm / tornado”.
Players will be able to control Osprey military aircraft in the game, with seven or eight of them reportedly on display in the reveal trailer.
The trailer is said to be reflective of a wider multiplayer focus on maps with day/night cycles and dynamic weather, which isdescribedas “a big part of the game”, which the reveal footage shows in “a spectacular way”.
