After Burner Climax has been announced for Xbox Live and PlayStation Network announced developer Sega. It will be released this Spring.

Just like the classic arcade flight action shooter series of old, this new revival will take the same classic gameplay that you know and love and update it with modern graphics and effects; As players pilot a fighter jet through bright photo-realistic environments, dodging planes, rockets, and bullets while targeting enemy aircraft.

The game will include 20 stages of “rocket dodging, dog-fighting, jet fighter action”. Although the game promises hardcore shooting gameplay, the game will also be more accessible than past titles. And in Climax Mode, players can activate slow motion, which makes avoiding rockets and bullets easier while also increasing accuracy.

Here is a trailer for the game.
