Bandai Namco Aces dropped the trailer for ACE COMBAT 8: WINGS OF THEVE at The Game Awards after an actor accidentally leaked it over a year back. The studio is launching the game for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series consoles after keeping fans waiting seven years since the last mainline entry.
The campaign mode puts players behind the controls of an ace pilot fighting to save the Federation of Central Usea after enemy forces wipe out the navy and occupy their homeland. Players fly alongside three new squadron members as the legendary Wings of Theve, and the story centers on taking back territory while carrying the weight of every citizen's hope. The dev team built everything on Unreal Engine 5 with promises of realistic weather systems, detailed terrain rendering, and first-person cinematic options.
Multiplayer dogfights are confirmed for those who want to scrap against other pilots online while flying actual fighter jets from around the world.
