Bandai Namco has announced that Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve will be released on October 2. To celebrate this announcement, the publisher has also shared a new trailer that you can find below.
Players will step into the cockpit and take flight as an elite pilot across stunning skies. They will enter intense dogfights, eliminate threats, and rise through gripping missions to earn your wings.
Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve will be using Unreal Engine 5. The Campaign Mode will showcase stunning visuals with dynamic multi-layered cloudscapes that capture the majesty of living skies.
The game will also have first-person scenes that will reveal your pilot’s story through breathtaking cinematics. As such, you will experience the pressure of command, the weight of decisions, and the bonds forged in battle. Between missions, you will bond with your squad members, rise to meet adversity, and prove yourself as a true ace.
Bandai Namco has not yet revealed the game’s PC system requirements. Once it does, I’ll be sure to share them with you.
Enjoy the trailer and stay tuned for more!
