Ladies and gentlemen, prepare for takeoff! Asobo Studio has announced the latest iteration in their groundbreaking flight sim series: Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.

Unveiled at the Xbox Games Showcase, the newest title promises to expand your airborne horizons beyond anything you've ever dreamed of. Whether you've got your sights set on performing daring rescues, charting unexplored territory, or taking on crucial cargo missions, Flight Simulator 2024 is your ticket to the skies.

As the sequel to the wildly popular Microsoft Flight Simulator, the 2024 version will add a "menial" twist to the series. Make no mistake, it will still feature a plethora of new aircraft, thrilling missions, and an immersive world, all of which will help the flight sim take the world by storm. But, the addition of jobs is one of the more out-of-left-field things coming to the franchise that may eventually become a staple.

The new trailer teased a vast range of roles you can undertake. Fans of adrenaline-filled assignments can participate in daring mountain rescues or serve as part of a search and rescue team. If you prefer a more relaxed journey, hot air balloon trips or tranquil airship tours might be your calling. For heavy-duty aviators, cargo transport and industrial delivery roles will offer the challenge you crave. There's also the option to become a helicopter pilot for VIP charter services or skydive aviation.
