E3 2018 Trailer, New Features and Story Details for Ace Combat 7

Bandai Namco has shared a new trailer for Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown alongside some new story and features details.

Featured above, a new trailer was released for the game during this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo.

The developer also shared new details regarding the game’s story in the overall Ace Combat timeline, as well as some new gameplay features.

Here’s the new details:


Players will experience dogfights through photorealistic visuals, including rendered cloud-filled skies in three-dimensional space. Realism of this kind also entails various weather and conditions which can be used to gain a tactical advantage.

Risky maneuvers like rushing through thunderclouds to wipe out enemy aircrafts or avoid hostile missiles are part of strategic action in ACE COMBAT 7: SKIES UNKNOWN. Players will need to predict and deal with different meteorological events. Lightning strikes or icing may cause system problems and restricted visibility. The game also includes details such as water droplets on the canopy.

Set on the same Usean continent as in ACE COMBAT 3 and ACE COMBAT 4, the story revolves around the Second Usean Continental War which takes place in the year 2019. Players will join the Osean Air Defense Force and get involved in conflicts that cannot simply be divided into good against evil. The humanity of the characters and the fight of manned vs unmanned aircrafts on the battlefield are part of the overarching storyline.

ACE COMBAT 7: SKIES UNKNOWN will also feature new weapons and flight controls. This allows for a wider range of tactics, including new futuristic superweapons and planes like the sturdy A-10C Thunderbolt II, as well as multipurpose fighter F-35C and high-performance aircraft Rafale M.


Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown is launching across Windows PC, PlayStation 4 (and PlayStation VR), and Xbox One sometime later this year.
