1C Game Studios has today announced that the early access date for IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad.
People who have purchased the Premium edition will gain access to the game on November 12, 2013. Those who bought the standard edition will be able to play the game in December, though there is no word on an exact date for that. The simulation game prodes itslef on its realism, and so commands a dedicated fan base.
This means that players will no longer be able to pre-order the game at their current prices. If you haven’t pre-ordered the game but still want to get early access in November, you ‘ll have to pay almost a hundred US dollars for the access – that’s the new price of the Premium Edition.
The game is expected to go on full release in spring 2014. The Standard Edition will cost $59.99 and the Premium Edition will cost $99.99.
