by

It’s 1942, and a crucial naval battle is unfolding near Midway Island in the Pacific Ocean – a battle that will significantly impact the course of modern history.

Task Force Admiral, the naval and air strategy game, aims to provide this experience when it launches in early access.

Drydock Dreams Games announced that their game, Task Force Admiral, is scheduled to launch at the end of January, with a possible release in early February if any unexpected issues arise.

You’ll have another chance to try the game next week when the demo returns, now featuring an additional scenario to explore.

The biggest update in the latest developer log is that players can now climb into the cockpit of a Wildcat aircraft and engage in aerial combat with Japanese planes.

While the controls and how planes fly aren’t as detailed as a full flight simulator, this feature adds a lot to Task Force Admiral. It gives players who like to carefully control every unit a way to maximize their air power.

The biggest new feature highlighted in the latest development update is that players can now enter the cockpit of a Wildcat.

Okay, so the exact price for Task Force Admiral isn’t out yet, but the developers are planning to release a demo before launch. They’re hoping that playing the demo will give us a good idea of what the full game is like, so everyone knows what they’re getting and there are no surprises when it comes to the final price.

Task Force Admiral will be available for PC via Steam in late January or early February 2026.
