Horseman Interactive Teases Co-Op Anti-Aircraft Gun Sim Flak Simulator
The pitch turns the gun crew into the unit of play: five people split the labor that one player normally abstracts away, and the teaser shows that division rather than the explosions alone.

Horseman Interactive released a teaser video on October 7 for Flak Simulator, a co-op anti-aircraft gun sim set in World War II. Up to five players man a German 8.8cm gun against U.S. B-17 bombers, handling spotting, rangefinding, fuze setting, transport and loading by hand. An arcade mode for solo and multiplayer play assigns one gun per player, with NPC crew handling the rest. PC via Steam, Q4 2026.
The teaser runs on the division of labor. Shells burst at close range and B-17s break apart or shed parts without going down, but the framing is the crew: the German 8.8cm gun on the ground, the bombers in combat box formation above it, and the tasks between them.
Elevation and traverse can be split between two players or handled by one. The arcade mode drops the manual work and assigns each player a gun, with NPC crew running ranging, fuze setting and loading. Experience earned after a round goes into training that crew.
