Battle of Britain 2 goes gold

UK-based GMX media has announced that developer Shockwave has finished production on Battle of Britain 2: Wings of Victory. PC flight-simulation fans will once again be able to take to the skies to defend Britain from Nazi aggression when the game hits stores later this month.

The successor to 2001's Rowan's Battle of Britain, Wings of Victory includes the entire Battle of Britain in a single-player campaign and promises to re-create all aspects of World War II-era flight combat at simulation-level realism. Wings of Victory is not yet rated and is expected to ship in North America on August 16 for $39.99.
