Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve PS5

Ace Combat 8 PS5 is the first mainline Ace Combat game in seven years, and it launched on 2 October 2026. You fly as the “Wings of Theve”, a pilot who carries the name of a legendary ace into a fight to reclaim an occupied nation.

Bandai Namco Aces built the game on Unreal Engine 5, so cities, terrain and skies look sharper than in earlier entries. Ace Combat 8 PS5 keeps the series’ fast arcade flying and adds a bigger online mode on top.
