New Delhi: Seeking
to attract youth, the Air Force is all set to launch a video game
called 'Guardians of the Sky' in which players can carry out virtual

"An IAF unit is
developing a mobile gaming application called 'Guardians of the Sky' to
attract youth between age of 14-18 to join the force," an IAF official
said.
The game, which is
likely to be released by early July, has been developed by a private
vendor 'M/s Threye' for the IAF following an open tendering process and
it will be made available on the Windows, Android and IOS platforms, he

The game, which is likely to be released by early July, has been developed by a private vendor 'M/s Threye' for the IAF.
The USP of the game
will be to highlight various combat scenarios undertaken by the Air
Force in an appealing manner "so as to immerse the player in the game
with the 'having been there' sensations and to motivate youth to
consider the IAF as a challenging career."
The mobile game will
be released in two phases under which one training mission and two
operational missions would be released in the first phase while players
will get to carry out eight virtual operational missions under the
second phase.http://ibnlive.in.com/news/indian-air-force-to-launch-video-game-to-attract-youngsters/478653-3.html
