After ten years in development, Wing Commander Saga: The Darkest Dawn has been released! Wing Commander Saga is the product of a dedicated group of fans seeking to tell a compelling story and provide an electrifying gameplay experience in Chris Robert's iconic Wing Commander universe. It features 55 missions in two campaigns, over 70 cutscenes, over 11,000 lines of voice work produced by 60 voice actors, and a storyline that dovetails with the events of Wing Commander 3: The Heart of the Tiger. It has been released for the PC, with Mac and Linux version coming soon. And best of all, it is completely free!
So far, reception for Wing Commander Saga has been enthusiastic. We experienced about 50,000 downloads in the first 24 hours after the release of the game. Check out what some of the reviewers have to say about The Darkest Dawn:
Wing Commander Saga: Accolades Trailer - Mod DB
"Terrific, and a stunning achievement." - Rock, Paper, Shotgun

"A worthy homage with a thrilling story." - PC Games Hardware
"A must have for nostalgic, old school gamers and space ship fans." - Gamestar

"So much more than a simple fan remake. A polished, feature heavy, brilliantly designed behemoth of a game. Wing Commander Saga could have easily been a commercial release." - Gnome's Lair
But don't just take their word for it, come try Wing Commander Saga: The Darkest Dawn for yourself!
Happy to say I am one of the people adding to that number!
One of the most immersive games I have played in a long time.
I happy for you mates!
All the praise if well deserved!°
I played and stopped. It was very nostalgic and nice, but I couldn't get past a certain mission and skipping didn't work; it's supposed to, though.
I might touch this game again, after it's patched, so skipping missions works properly. It's a very hard game with some great moments. Overall a fantastic achievement, but story and acting didn't exactly thrill or surprise me. Gameplay did.
Lol okay - the patch was released now! That's quick acting on the side of the team. Back to space then :)
I don't like any of the missions with capship rockets. It would be rad if, you could chose your role as attack pilot or defender. Then I could enjoy these missions without having to skip them.
so WCSDD has been released or is it still under Beta testing, just having difficult locating a Download link, I've found links to download items like the printable 'DVD' label.
It's the full release!
