I'm well aware of what the announcement plans are (and have been for some time), but, as hopefully everyone understands, there is a schedule to follow, and I can't just come out and start posting information on my own free will. 🙂 

Great Battles news may or may not come next week. The team's priority right now is getting ready to show Korea at Igromir. 

I mean, ya could, but it depends on how you feel about there being a new community manager and how often you like to stand near open windows.

Not if its "strategic leak".

Will the upcoming 2026 collector planes be revealed this month?

The Game awards will be live today so they might reveal the planes during the series, unless they have never been on TGA

 

Also do we know what planes will be avaliable to use on odessa and leningrad maps on release?

Hopefully it's today/tomorrow, they've been teased long enough.

Luke has been constantly reassuring folk that we'll have GB 2026 plans announced before the end of the year, and with the big Korea demonstration happening tomorrow, I can't see when else they'd make the news known.

[Kubert]

I don't mind TGA. I guess there will be some information soon. We know Korea gameplay trailer will be shown on  12.december, then new scripted campaign for GB was already unofficialy announced by BlackSix and also year 2025 coming to the end which could mean S&L module is close to finish, or at least it's last aircrafts...according to roadmap from beginning of the year. If I remember correctly. So, let's just wait.

I don't think IL-2 has anything to do with TGA. It is not mainstream stuff. If possible, they should avoid announcing anything during these days btw.

The Game Awards is not for niche games like this.

IL-2 Korea will be demonstrated at IgroMir this weekend, a Russian game exhibition, but I doubt that they will then also give GB information.

Right on December 25th, if they decide to make it "international style", or even December 30th, as a summing up of the year.

[AcesDarthBubu]

Most likely seeing more GB news the week after Korea gameplay release done. I bet they wouldn't want GB to steal Korea's limelight at this moment.

I don't expect much as GB is winding down and 1C is focused on pastures anew. Maybe a WW1 channel and Italian map, floatplanes and a Bleriot penguin for training purposes.

[Dash,Polder]

I expect a top notch in game trailer with a lot of information on the game play, tis the peak Christmas sales season, you only get one shot a year at it. 

[Nickkyboy99]

We'll get something this month, that's for sure.

[Carlos_Cota_517]

Fall is almost over... 😧

I don’t think we’ll get anything this year. Today the Korea crap and then things are moving towards Christmas. WW2 enjoyers are out of luck

[Nickkyboy99]

In DD #371, it says that this fall we’ll get some news about new winged engines with more engines than usual. With winter fast approaching, do you think we’ll get anything next week? I’m really hoping it’ll be a flyable B-25 or B-26.

A B-25/26 is clearly possible, but maybe I'm just being a bit too optimistic... even so, I'd be happy to get any bomber for the Allies, such as the A-20G

Both planes were used in the Pacific, so we might get them for the new game engine.

Neither of those has more engines than usual. We have tons of twin engine planes

Considering the direction IL2 is heading and the number of single-engine collector aircraft we've received over the last five years, any aircraft with more than one engine would be a unique addition. But maybe you're right, perhaps we'll get the SM.79 😁
