Yager is a futuristic aerial combat game that puts the player in the role of air ace Magnus Tide. After crashing his plane, losing his job and being dumped by his girlfriend, he feels like his life can't get any worse. Fortunately, Magnus managed to get himself a new ship and a new job as a freelancer for his former employer, Proteus. Unfortunately for Magnus, his new job couldn't have come at a worse time, as the world is on the verge of full scale war.

The game was initially released on 23rd May 2003 for Xbox in the EU and 28th September also in North America. On 3rd October it was also released for Microsoft Windows in the EU and on the 4th February 2005 in North America.
