Wings of Dawn is an anime-inspired space shooter game built on the Freespace 2 Open engine. It follows the story of a girl named Dawn, who gets thrown into a galaxy spanning war of space opera proportions. Dawn must keep her wits beside her as she encounters the numerous self-serving human governments, the long-eared and arrogant Cyrvans, and the lumbering might of the Hertak and their many thralls. Fly a variety of fighters and use devastating weapons to bring down your enemies and discover the secrets that only Dawn can unlock. Wings of Dawn is an on-going story released in episodes and is completely free!
Check out the HLP release post: here for several other download mirrors, along with the recommended way of downloading and installing Wings of Dawn through Knossos. A very handy launcher which allows you easy access to a whole host of other Freespace 2 mods (though, unlike WoD, FS2 installation will be required for them)
Of course you can also download the new release through the moddb download page. Installation instructions are included on the page.
In case this is the first time you're seeing Wings of Dawn and wonder what it is about. A video speaks louder than words and images. So here's the trailer from the last article:
And a video that shows what kind of actual gameplay you can expect:

Just finished episode 1, this mod is fantastic so far! Looking forward to episode 2! :D
Can u make like frigates / gunships flyable
This mod is awesome!
The original was already good, but this is even more amazing with the improvement in both storytelling and gameplay.
Thank you so much for all the work you put into this.
I can't wait for the next episode =)
So, like the new version and all, but I never finished the original and would like to play through it fully. By any chance do you know where I could acquire it?
Never mind. I found the old Hard-Light thread. Fantastic mod here! And now a standalone version different enough so the two can co-exist!
so i just started my first run though of WoD and I'm thoroughly impressed
will be awaiting a sequel that probably will come out
Want WoD 2 :D
Looking forward to WoD2! :-)
Just saw that you're working on a sequel. This is good news.
