Kuma
Games and The History Channel today announced a
partnership to develop an online video game companion to The History
Channel series Dogfights. Beginning July 13 with the launch of the
second season of the aerial combat series, Kuma will release
video game recreations of the historic battles online simultaneously
with upcoming television episodes, allowing viewers to watch the show
and then re-live the historical battles. These episodic games will be available
for free download at
www.History.com
and
www.KumaGames.com
.
"Dogfights" returns this summer with 20 new episodes featuring
3-D re-creations of classic battles and commentary from the
pilots themselves. The series showcases the extraordinary courage and
skill of men who flew the most sophisticated machines of their day,
whether exchanging high-powered missiles in fierce aerial combat or
using the planes themselves as weapons in desperate suicide attacks.
And now, for the first time in history, viewers can step into the
cockpit themselves.
