MicroProse and Not Knowing Corporation today announced that Jungle Storm, the second campaign for Cleared Hot, launches on October 15 as a free update for everyone who owns the game. It’s available on Steam.
The new campaign brings nine missions, with playtime comparable to Chapter 1, and sends players into rain and lightning against a wider range of threats. Every helicopter also gains a unique ability inspired by its real-world role, while a new Utility slot gives pilots more ways to respond when a mission goes sideways.
