Take to the skies and experience high-intensity aerial warfare with ACE COMBAT 8: WINGS OF THEVE for PlayStation 5, the newest mainline entry in the legendary aerial combat franchise. Combining fast-paced dogfights, massive military operations, breathtaking dynamic skies and an all-new cinematic story, ACE COMBAT 8 delivers a new generation of aerial action in the Strangereal universe.

The story takes place in July 2029, when the Federation of Central Usea (FCU) falls under a lightning invasion by the Republic of Sotoa, resulting in the capture of its capital, Theve, and the collapse of much of its military. After being rescued at sea by the ageing aircraft carrier Endurance, you are given a name carrying enormous significance for the people of the FCU: “Wings of Theve.”

Join three new comrades and take to the skies in a desperate campaign to reclaim your homeland. Engage enemy fighter aircraft, attack ground and naval targets, and confront enormous military threats while mastering a variety of aircraft and powerful weapons across gripping missions.

Campaign Mode brings the battlefield to life with stunning visuals and dynamic multi-layered cloudscapes, while cinematic first-person sequences provide a closer look at your pilot’s story. Between missions, interact with your squad members and experience the relationships, pressure and conflicts surrounding the ongoing war.

Beyond the Campaign, ACE COMBAT ONLINE delivers the largest multiplayer experience in franchise history. Explore an interactive online Air Base with your customised avatar before joining pilots from around the world across a variety of cooperative and competitive multiplayer missions.
