Gunship Origins. A return of the pivotal and iconic series that set the bar for helicopter combat flight simulators for the next 40 years.

After a 25 year hiatus, Jammin Games is firing the engines back up with Gunship Origins, returning to the compelling gameplay that captured the imaginations of multiple generations of flight simmers.

You’ll be flying iconic airframes such as the AH-64 Apache, OH-58 Kiowa Warrior and UH-60 Blackhawk across a dynamic, contested battlefield.

You’ll need to plan and coordinate with your wingmen (human and computer) to strike armored columns and supply convoys, silence missile batteries, and level enemy fortifications.

The battlefield is dangerous and unforgiving. Your survival depends on flying low, using the terrain to your advantage, and striking fast before the enemy can react.

Hunt. Destroy. Survive.

Singleplayer will include a Dynamic Campaign, Quick Missions and a full set of Training Tutorials.

Multiplayer will be PvE/Co-operative, with up to 8 players, for the Dynamic Campaign and Quick Missions. You’ll be able to complete missions with either human or AI wingmen.

Yes! Jump into the pilot seat while a friend operates the weapons as copilot/gunner, or even pick up them up when they get shot down to continue the fight in your helicopter.

We would (probably) like to! Just as in Gunship 2000, we’d like you to have plenty of options to achieve your mission goals. Adding a new helicopter is very costly and time-intensive, and as a small indie studio, our focus is sticking with our three (64/58/60) to retain a focused, polished gameplay for our initial release.

In the future, we’ll be looking to include more airframes. Whether these are part of the core game, or as a dedicated expansion depends on a range of factors.

Both are currently to be announced. Our team is still working hard on core gameplay features. In the meantime, keep an eye out for our DevLogs for updates on Gunship Origins.

A ‘Big Box’ release is on our internal roadmap as a stretch goal, and we have the talent and ability to design this already. We think it would be really compelling. However, this is a ways out.

Yes. Our initial internal tests have worked well, but proper optimization for full VR support remains experimental.

Yes, this is already implemented. We’ll be tuning this as we go.

Yes. You’ll be able to play Gunship Origins with everything from mouse + keyboard to gamepad controllers to joysticks to a full HOTAS setup.

There’s a lot of different grips, throttles, collectives and rudder pedals on the market, but we’ll be working hard to ensure your setup is fully compatible with Gunship Origins. We have an innovative control schematic export/import that will help you share your schematics/setups (and find others to import).

We want Gunship Origins to both look and play great - and we certainly know how expensive PC parts have become, so we are pushing hard on optimization.

From your work laptop (we won't tell anybody!) to a RTX 5090 equipped powerhouse, you’ll be able to adjust the game to run best on your system.

On top of that, you’ll also enjoy cross-platform support on Windows, MacOS, SteamOS & Linux (native Linux binary, not Proton).

Requirements are as follows:
