Throughout 2025, DCS continued to expand its single-player offerings with a strong lineup of professionally crafted campaigns. Spanning multiple eras, aircraft, and mission settings, these campaigns greatly improved the depth, replayability, and value of the modules they support. You’ll find a complete overview of the campaigns introduced in 2025 below.
In last week’s newsletter, we looked at what Eagle Dynamics will be working on in 2026 and beyond. We have a lot more in motion that will shape how you fly DCS over the coming years. Work on the new, free Su-25 is progressing, as well as completing both the Iraq and Afghanistan maps. We will also continue researching new technologies and features like 1st person walk-around mode, Combined Arms 2.0 features (like VR support), and research, design, and development of the F-15C and F-35A.
The Pacific Theatre of Operations (PTO) will be a pillar of DCS, with player-controlled Hellcats and A6M5 Zeros. This, combined with the free Marianas 1944 map and an extensive PTO assets pack of aircraft, ships, and ground units, will create the depth and scope needed to recreate summer 1944 PTO operations.
