Swiss-Polish Indie developer Blindflug Studios announces the release date for its strategy base-builder
Zurich, Switzerland, June 26, 2025 – Swiss-Polish indie developer Blindflug Studios has officially announced the release date for its strategy base-building game Ground of Aces: The game will launch in Early Access on July 10, 2025 for Windows PC and Mac.
Ground of Aces puts players in command of an airbase during World War II, where they must build, manage, and lead their base through the hardships of war.
Following the successful release of the playable demo earlier this year, the team is now ready to take the next big step. Executive Producer Moritz Zumbühl explains: "Over the past few months, we've worked closely with our community, and we're incredibly excited to launch the Early Access version of Ground of Aces exactly on the 85th anniversary of the start of the Battle of Britain. July 10 is our D-Day – and we can't wait to send players on their mission."
Ground of Aces will offer players a unique view into World War II, highlighting the challenges faced by air bases and their crews, including historic events such as the Battle of Britain. It is inspired by free form base building games like Rimworld and Going Medieval, as well as historical strategy games like Hearts of Iron IV. The art style will pay homage to the “ligne claire” style of Franco-Belgian comics like Biggles and Buck Danny.
The main pillars of Ground of Aces:
Engulf yourself in the Second World War: Step into the shoes of an air base commander and witness the war from a new perspective. Build and defend your base, send pilots on critical missions, and play a vital role in shaping the war effort.
A base builder at heart: Design and expand your air base with complete freedom. Your base is laid out by your own choices and thus unique.
A dream for aviation enthusiasts: Take command of a fleet of historically significant aircraft. Carefully select the right planes for each mission, maintain your fleet, and ensure your base is always ready for action.
Your crew’s personal stories: Your crew is more than just numbers—they are individuals shaped by war. Witness their struggles and triumphs, and feel the weight of every loss.
