Hello Everyone!
We’ve been busy with our heads buried in several things - shipping the console versions of Bomber Crew, working on the upcoming dlc, and developing a bunch of new features and improvements for the Steam release.
We just wanted to give you a quick overview of what’s coming in the next update, which is currently going through QA, and will be available on the 10th of July.
Once again, thank you for all your feedback and support, it continues to be a source of invaluable encouragement for us.
And thanks for playing!

What'll be new on the 10th of July:
- :missiontarget: New Challenge Game Mode!
For a change of pace, jump straight into the action and survive wave after wave of intensifying challenges. Take a reusable crew, experiment with your loadouts and see how they fare on the global leaderboards!
The key to a highscore is to clear each wave objective quickly and grab those pickups! Collected by tagging and flying through them, pickups will level up your crew, refuel or repair your bomber, and restore your crew's health.
This new mode is great for a blast of aerial action when you're not quite ready to risk your campaign crew on that perilous next mission!
- :missiontarget: Controller Support
Sit back and play Bomber Crew at ease!
We recommend starting a new game and playing through the tutorial so you can become comfortable with the controls before you play with your valuable crews. (We've added an extra save slot for this, in case yours are all full). Challenge mode is also a great way to get to grips with the new control scheme.
(The gamepad display in this gif is just for illustrative purposes :) )
- :missiontarget: ‘Character Editor’
In addition to changing the names of your recruits and crew members, you can now customise their appearance!
- :missiontarget: Game Save Preview Photos
When choosing a saved game to load, you'll now see a natty group photo of your crews and their aircraft!
- :missiontarget: Fast Forward Debrief Sequence
Minimise the time you spend having your face rubbed in your crew's demise!
