Seconde future nouveauté au catalogue de Microprose, qui annonce donc sa résurrection et incidemment son retour en force cette semaine dans le monde des jeux de stratégie, voici venir le premier volet de ce qui devrait être une série mettant le joueur à la tête d’une task force américaine lors de différents engagements ayant eu lieu en 39-45.
Ici comme on le voit dans cette belle bande-annonce, en commençant en 1942 avec pour objectif évidemment d’arrêter une force aéronavale japonaise en pleine ascension. Le tout allant être jouable a priori en temps réel et entièrement en 3D, ce qui du peu qu’on en voit dans ce teaser semble très prometteur, au moins visuellement.
Pour plus d’informations sur Task Force Admiral Vol.1: American Carrier Battles, dont la date de sortie n’est pas encore connue, voyez cette page sur Steam ou celle-ci chez l’éditeur.

Task Force Admiral
Developer: Drydock Dreams Games
Task Force Admiral Vol.1: American Carrier Battles is a single-player experience centered on the command of an early Pacific War US Navy carrier task force.
As the overall commander, you are in charge of seeking the destruction of the enemy naval forces and preventing your opponent, the Japanese Navy, from accomplishing its objectives. To achieve your aims, you have at your disposal the most fearsome sea projection weapon known to Man in 1942: your carrier air groups and the task forces that support them.Forget about the limitations of the past, and let the best of wargaming and simulation blend and blossom together in this new take on command at sea! Re-live the great battles of the first year of the Pacific War as if you were there yourself. In here there is no dice roll, no artificial skill-tree, no arbitrary stats, selective fog of war or supernatural crystal-clear communications. It is real-time crisis management for you, realism and historicity without concession, as little abstraction as can be, and loads of action, suspense and refreshing gameplay packed in the same single computer software.
