In the Great Battles series each game is considered as a "module". The first game of this collaboration, and the latest title in the IL-2 Sturmovik series, started the third generation of games in the series, IL-2 Sturmovik: Great Battles, which was released in November 2013 under the title IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad.Īs of 2017 the entire third generation is titled IL-2 Sturmovik: Great Battles.
As of December 2012, the other 1C's developer is 1C Game Studios, formed after association with video game developer 777 Studios, mostly known for developing and releasing the 2009 Rise of Flight simulator. This led in December 2017 to the release of a new version of the game (named Cliffs of Dover BLITZ) and in August 2020 to the first add-on in the second generation of IL-2 games: IL-2 Sturmovik: Desert Wings – Tobruk. In 2012 a group of volunteers named " Team Fusion" took over Maddox Games and started working on Cliffs of Dover, fixing bugs and improving the game. The development of a completely different game engine in the series, introduced in 2011 upon release of IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover, started the second generation of games in the series.Īlmost immediately after Cliffs of Dover was released, Maddox Games left 1C Company. This started the original line of IL-2 Sturmovik games which in the present day is officially titled IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946 as this was the title of its "Complete Edition" back in 2006, the final compilation of add-ons in the first generation of IL-2 games. The first game in the series, IL-2 Sturmovik, was first released on 18 November 2001.

Thus, 1C Company currently owns the IL-2 Sturmovik label and runs three different accumulated generations of IL-2 games (three generations of IL-2 games have been established as three different game engine stages have been developed since 2001).Īlong with its sequels, IL-2 Sturmovik is considered one of the leading World War II flight simulators.
