"Though I Fly Through the Valley of Death, I Shall Fear No Evil. 
For I am at 80,000 Feet and Climbing."

The setting is 2014. As the era of the nation-state draws quickly to a close, the rules of warfare evolve even more rapidly. More and more nations become increasingly dependent on Private Military Companies (PMCs), elite mercenaries with a lax view of the law. The Reykjavik Accords further legitimize their existence by authorizing their right to serve in every aspect of military operations. There goes the neighborhood …

Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. is the next-gen console game primed to revolutionize the way we think about combat in the sky. Cutting-edge technology, devastating firepower, and intense dogfights award this new title a deserving place in the prestigious Tom Clancy franchise. Soon, flying at Mach 3 becomes a right, not a privilege.

• Enhanced Reality System (E.R.S.): This in-game technology helps turn novice aviators into elite pilots of the future. The Enhanced Reality System is the core of the HAWX flight experience—aircraft interception trajectories, incoming missile detection, anti-crash system, damage assessment, tactical map, and weapons trajectory control. E.R.S. also lets you issue orders to your squadron and other units, making this system as iconic to HAWX as the Cross-Com system is to Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter®.
• Assistance Mode: Ease into your flight missions and gain a level of comfort with the use of the assistance mode. Once employed, take full advantage of their technological support through the E.R.S and gain maximum piloting security. If the situation calls for you to unleash the full potential of the aircraft, the assistance mode can be switched off and all safety features will be deactivated. This comes with increased risks, but allows advanced dogfighting maneuvers and stunning third-person views.
• Complete Multiplayer Experience: For the first time ever in the air-combat, you will be able to play the entire campaign in four-player "jump in" co-op. In player vs player, enter intense dog-fighting sessions.
• Realism and Authenticity: Take the throttle of over 50 famous aircrafts, and dogfight over real world locations and cities in photo-realistic environments, created with the best commercial satellite data on the civilian market.
