Saga Showcases it’s German Version

FROM: Rear Admiral Tolwyn, CINCWEAPONSDIVISION

Sprechen sie Wing Commander? As you know, Saga is working on a complete German version of the game as well. To give you a sneak peak at what that will be like, we are happy to bring you the German trailer for Wing Commander, The Darkest Dawn. If you don’t speak German, the English version is still available here.

Mit der Zerstörung seines Trägers nahm die Pilotenausbildung von 2nd Lieutenant David „Sandman“ Markham eine tragische Wendung. Das vermeintlich sichere Oberan-System erwies sich als tödlicher Hinterhalt für die TCS Wellington und ihre Besatzung. Als einer der wenigen Überlebenden steht Sandman nun eine düstere und ungewisse Zukunft bevor, denn dies war nur der Auftakt...

Der blutige Krieg, in den Sandman unvermittelt hineingezogen wurde, verläuft für die Terraner katastrophal. An allen Fronten sind die Kilrathi unerbittlich auf dem Vormarsch und die Lage wird von Tag zu Tag aussichtsloser. Die Streitkräfte der Terranischen Konföderation sind an allen Kriegsschauplätzen zum Rückzug gezwungen. Ihre Verluste sind dramatisch. Den endgültigen Sieg in greifbarer Nähe, stößt die mächtige Kriegsmaschinerie der Kilrathi System für System tiefer ins Herz der Konföderation vor. Der Menschheit droht die völlige Auslöschung. Ihre Chancen sind gering, doch noch besteht Hoffnung.

Das Schicksal der menschlichen Rasse steht auf dem Spiel und der Sieg gegen ihren erbittertsten Feind wird noch größte Opfer erfordern. Steigen Sie ins Cockpit und fliegen Sie an der Seite ihrer Kameraden gegen das Imperium der Kilrathi. Kämpfen Sie für das Überleben der Menschheit. Die Zeit ist gekommen, da einfache Menschen zu Helden werden können.

Nehmen Sie die Herausforderung an und werden Sie Teil des Abenteuers. Der Blickwinkel ist ein anderer - Der Auftrag derselbe: Stehen Sie der Konföderation bei in ihrer dunkelsten Stunde.

Interview on the Red Carpet

In a sensational move, guys from GameOverCast have somehow managed to secure exclusive access for a lengthy chinwag with our very own Andreas Schmitt, to chat about all things regarding Wing Commander Saga. An mp3 of the chitchat is available for free on the GameOverCast website! Don't miss it.

As for our esteemed leader, he was sadly unavailable for the interview, as he was holed up at Saga HQ, rumoured to be curled up into a foetal position gently moaning to himself and wondering when life went so wrong.

Merry Christmas from Wing Commander Saga!

Happy Holidays to all of our site visitors! We hope your holiday season will be joyous and meaningful. We will see you all on the flip side with the new year.

We'd like to say thanks to all our fans out there with two small presents from us this holiday season. The first is a choice selection of screenshots showcasing the main menu of the game. For years people have been asking us to show it, and now we have. We have tried to make the main hall a compelling hub for the game that provides ambiance and atmosphere. We have tried to pay close attention to detail so that when you “step into” the main hall, you will feel the buzz and cadence of life aboard a space-borne carrier.

The second present isn’t being released today (couldn’t we all use a little help with our delayed gratification?). It will be released over the course of the next few days. But, here’s a hint: it will be of particular interest to our German fans, and no, it’s not the prologue.

Know Your Shipmates: Confed Capital Ships - Entry 6: Yorktown

FROM: Rear Admiral Tolwyn, CINCWEAPONSDIVISION
DATE: 2010.25.10

For this update, we like to show our final variant of the Yorktown-class carrier. This venerable light carrier was first seen in Wing Commander 3, where the main character flew off the TCS Victory. People who have played our prologue would also remember the TCS Wellington, the carrier that played a big part in the main character’s training. The player can expect to see other Yorktown-class carriers throughout the campaign.

Designed more than fifty years before the Kilrathi War, the Yorktown-class light carrier has been modernized and refitted to keep up with rest of the carrier fleet. Its four fighter squadrons offer flexibility and adaptability from serving as support of a larger Confederation carrier or the center of its own battle group. The Kilrathi naval build-up of the past few years and the Confederations losses incurred during the Battle for Earth have shifted these venerable carriers back into front line duty.
