Ace Combat 7 delivers the fiercest air combat experience ever through photorealistic visuals, intense dog-fighting action, a multitude of authentic and futuristic aircraft to fly, and an immersive storyline.

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. Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown will provide an arsenal of ultra-modern and near-future super weapons for players to wield, while presenting formidable enemies for pilots to vanquish in the air.

Aces who have proven their aerial combat prowess in Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown’s campaign mode can take their dogfighting skills online for furious online multiplayer battles.

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown also marks the return of Sunao Katabuchi as the lead writer behind the fictional storyline that players will experience in the game. Previously, Sunao Katabuchi wrote the storylines for both Ace Combat 4: Shattered Skies and Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War.


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.


The Ace Combat franchise has always delivered heart-pounding aerial combat action wrapped in a beautifully presented package that pushed the limits of each console generation the game appeared on. Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown continues this storied tradition of placing players in the cockpit of their favorite fighter jets to take part in an aerial ballet of death and destruction… this time with the added realism that can only be delivered through PlayStation VR.  

Players experiencing Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown will be able to see their fighters in true-to-life size and detail when exploring their hangers in PlayStation VR. Players will be treated to unprecedented levels of immersion as they enter a fighter jet’s cockpit, surrounded by detailed instruments, and afforded a true 360-degree view of battles taking place around them through the fighter’s canopy.

PS4 players will be able to play the full campaign on the classic mode and an exclusive and dedicated experience with specific features developed for the Sony PlayStation VR.

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown is available for take-off on PS4, Xbox One and PC.
