New Shots: Echelon

Bethesda has released new screenshots from Echelon, a futuristic sim in which you play a Galactic Federation pilot who attempts to hold back attacks by the Velian alien menace. Unlike sims like Starlancer that focus on sci-fi space combat, Echelon introduces you to futuristic ground attack and air superiority missions. You and your wingman will face over 100 ground vehicles in a range of fixed wing craft, rotary wing craft, and hovercraft. The graphics engine is a proprietary creation of developer Buka Entertainment, and it provides for the impressive graphics shown in these screenshots.

Echelon is on schedule for an October release. Read the GameSpot previews linked to the right for more information on the game.
