Bandai Namco Games released Ace Combat Infinity as the first free-to-play Ace Combat game for the PlayStation 3 in May 2014.
Bandai Namco Entertainment producer Kazutoki Kono announced during a 25th anniversary live stream program for the Ace Combat game franchise on Wednesday that the next Ace Combat entry is in development.
The Ace Combat series are loosely realistic flight shooting games that feature mostly real-world aircraft in a fictional setting officially named “Strangereal.”
The most recent game in the series, Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, shipped in January 2019 for PlayStation 4 (with PlayStation VR support) and Xbox One, and in February 2019 for PC.
