EA Play has announced that MySims SkyHeroes – a new flying action-adventure and the next instalment from the MySims franchise - is heading to the PS3.

Chocks away!

In MySims SkyHeroes, you will take to the sky to lead the resistance against Morcubus and his drone army in an attempt to stop his plans to take over the skyways.

Starting as an unknown pilot, you fight to become a celebrated hero as you defeat dangerous enemies in aerial combat, test your reflexes in fast-paced speed challenges, and take on massive enemy bosses that demand all your skills as a pilot to survive.

As you progress, you will get the chance to build, customize and tune your aircraft to give them an edge in combat – upgrade wings for swifter manoeuvres, switch out the engine for a speed boost, or change the paint job to camouflage the plane and avoid enemy fire.

The game will feature a full solo campaign, as well as local split-screen and online multiplayer where you will be able to fly with or against up to 10 friends in cooperative or competitive modes.

Epic plane crash incoming in 5...4...3...2...1

Something tells us that Sim might want to pull up pretty sharpish.

Whilst graphically you can clearly see the games Wii heritage, we think it is definitely worth keeping an eye on – it might just surprise us all.
