Delayed by a year, this sequel to 2007's Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation is the first Ace Combat game designed for the latest generation of hardware—which includes PC (and Xbox), even though it was once meant to be a PS4 exclusive.
Bandai Namco is billing its latest arcade-style dogfighting game as a return to the series' origins, ditching the more realistic settings of recent (unnumbered) releases from the past decade for the "Strangereal" fictional universe and a more developed story. The better hardware also means that you can expect realistic, volumetric clouds that add another dimension to gameplay.
