Project Wingman is a combat flight-action video game developed by Sector D2 and published by Humble Games. It was released on 1 December 2020 on Microsoft Windows with optional VR support for the whole game. It was later released on 28 October 2021 on Xbox One. The game was also released as part of the PlayStation VR2 collection for PlayStation 5, titled Project Wingman: Frontline 59, on 3 October 2023. It contains optional VR support via six new missions rather than the whole game. The game features two game modes: Campaign and Conquest.
In campaign mode, the game follows the story of a war set on an alternate Earth between United Cascadia and the Pacific Federation through a silent protagonist with the callsign Monarch, a mercenary pilot for the fictional Sicario Mercenary Corp. After finishing up a previous contract, the mercenary group is hired by United Cascadia, a nation vying for independence from the Pacific Federation, a nation that comprises across most of the Ring of Fire. An area is rich with a fictional material called "Cordium", which is used both for geothermal and military applications.
In conquest mode, the player conquers various territories for Cascadia in a rogue-lite game mode involving conquering territories, buying new planes, and hiring help, while the Federation gets progressively aware and cautious of player's presence, sending fighters, airships, and ace squadrons to oppose the player.
