Ubisoft today announced Thunder Wolves, an arcade shooter coming to Xbox Live Arcade, Sony Entertainment Network and PC in Q1 2013.

Thunder Wolves puts gamers in the hot seat of an experienced helicopter group that has survived a flurry of bullets and caused more destruction than the Seventh United State Army. Gamers will embark on a variety of missions including high-risk convoy protection, deploying a commando on fast-moving train or unleashing hell on a fully destructible battlefield.

With over 30 combinations of choppers and weaponry, gamers can play through the campaign to upgrade their chopper with additional weapons and defensive tools to create the ultimate aerial hunter. Thunder Wolves also features a two-player co-op – one gamer playing as the pilot and the other as the gunner – giving gamers an opportunity to establish aerial dominance with a friend.
