Developed utilizing Unreal Engine 4 and trueSKY technology, Ace Combat 7 applies the latest evolution of its graphics engine in conjunction with the power of the latest generation of gaming consoles and PCs to create immersive aerial battlefields.

Fully rendered clouds fill the skies while highly detailed cityscapes enhance the sense of supersonic speed, setting the stage for highly exhilarating aerial battles.

As the Project Aces team continues to celebrate Ace Combat’s 25th Anniversary, they’re excited to announce the arrival of three new aircraft into the Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown arsenal of high-performance fighter aircraft, arriving this fall.

Fans of the Ace Combat franchise will be no stranger to the three incoming aircraft with the ASF-X Shinden II, XFA-27, and the CFA-44 Nosferatu hitting their afterburners and streaking into action at supersonic speeds. Along with the arrival of these three aircraft, the Project Aces team has also prepared new weapons, aircraft skins, and emblems to accompany this incoming update.

Additionally, a new “Casual Easy” mode will be made available as a free update to ACE COMBAT 7: SKIES UNKNOWN. This new mode will serve as the perfect entry point for novice players to take to the skies and participate in dogfights and aerial combat.
