About this game

Become a Combat Helicopter Pilot

Gunship: Origins is a modern combat helicopter game inspired by the golden age of military simulators. Fly iconic helicopters including the AH-64 Apache, OH-58 Kiowa Warrior, and UH-60 Blackhawk in dynamic missions across contested battlefields.

Plan your routes, coordinate with wingmen, and strike enemy forces ranging from armored columns and convoys to missile batteries and fortified bases. The battlefield is dangerous - survival depends on flying low, using terrain to your advantage, and striking fast before the enemy can react.

Dynamic Missions and Campaigns

No two missions are the same. Missions are dynamically generated and place you in a wide variety of combat situations.

You may be tasked with destroying armored columns, escorting transport helicopters into hostile landing zones, intercepting enemy convoys, or striking high-value targets deep behind enemy lines.

Every mission demands careful planning and quick decision-making once you reach the battlefield.

Fly Solo or With Friends

Jump into the cockpit alone or fly together in co-operative multiplayer with up to 8 players.

Take the pilot seat while a friend operates the weapons as copilot/gunner, or lead a coordinated flight of helicopters with human and AI wingmen working together to accomplish mission objectives.

Rise Through the Ranks

Begin your career as a Warrant Officer Candidate and prove yourself through training and combat missions.

Earn promotions through the US Army officer ranks, unlock new responsibilities, and collect authentic military medals and awards as your career progresses.

Bring your hard-earned rank and medals into multiplayer and show your friends what you’ve accomplished.

Accessible Yet Deep

Gunship: Origins is designed to be easy to learn but rewarding to master.

The helicopters can be flown with keyboard and mouse, making the game accessible even on a laptop. For players seeking deeper immersion, joysticks, gamepads, HOTAS and other advanced control setups are fully supported.

Extensive optimization ensures smooth performance across a wide range of systems.

    INTRODUCING GUNSHIP ORIGINS AND MICROPROSE PUBLISHING DEAL!

    After nearly two years of solo development on my combat helicopter game, I'm thrilled to announce that I've signed a publishing agreement with MicroProse!MicroProse holds a really special place in my heart -- I grew up playing Gunship 2000, M1 Tank Platoon, F117, and so many more of their awesome games in the 90s, so getting to partner with them now feels incredibly full circle. As part of this, Into the Dawn is now Gunship Origins. It's a dream come true to build the next Gunship, and I don't take this responsibility lightly.Gunship Origins is a combat helicopter game reminiscent of the great helicopter simulators of the 90s like Gunship 2000 and Comanche, with modern co-op multiplayer, cross-platform (Windows, macOS, Linux, Steam Deck) support, dynamic missions, pilot progression, multi-helicopter gameplay, and more.In the coming months, I'll be working hard on the roadmap. There's a lot more to come: dozens of enemy vehicles, new threats, new mission types, and the full pilot progression system. MicroProse has put their considerable capabilities behind my vision and believes in it. I've had a great experience so far working with their team and feel like it's a perfect fit. I can't wait to get the game into your hands.Huge thanks to: Denton Holmgren, Lucas Holmgren, Ron Holmgren, Cpt. Craig Coyle, Jim Day (original Gunship 2000 game designer), Todd Werth, Gant Laborde, Lee Gilkerson, all the beta testers and others who encouraged me along the way, the talented team at MicroProse, as well as my wonderful kids Cedric (& Tricia / Kamri), Cally, Vanna, and Vessa, and of course my amazing wife Chyra for putting up with all the late evenings and excited helicopter talk.
