What Project Wingman is

Project Wingman is an arcade game developed by Sector D2 and released in 2020. It was published by Humble Games. It is available on Xbox One, PC (Microsoft Windows) and SteamVR. It runs on Unreal Engine 4.

The premise, in the publisher's words

Dogfight, strike, and fly through combat zones based off an alternate history of Earth. Either over the cold waters of the Bering Strait, attacking tanks in the brutal environments of Yellowstone magma fields, or diving through the Redwoods to strike targets of opportunity in the Pacific Northwest, across the oceans, above the scarred lands of the world, this war will take you from exotic battlefield to exotic battlefield, all while going up against odds way above your pay grade.
