Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve - Bandai Namco's jets take off today

Publisher Bandai Namco and developer Project Aces announce the release of Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve, available starting today, October 2, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. Wings of Theve brings significant improvements to the series' formula: it evolves the technical department thanks to Unreal Engine 5, elevates the narrative by telling a cinematic story, and offers the most extensive multiplayer ever.

These improvements have not gone unnoticed: just read our Ace Combat 8 review, where we describe it as the biggest and most complete installment of all. The game doesn't revolutionize what its predecessors did, but refines and expands the experience: as the comment states, it is "the culmination of everything that made Ace Combat famous, and with an extra gear." The only drawback is the lacking optimization.
