Wichtige Informationen
Project Aces shifts its narrative approach in Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve to deliver a more intimate story about the Central Usean Federation (FCU) navy fighting Sotoan invaders. Players start as a silent protagonist adrift on a lifeboat after a battle on the Endurance aircraft carrier.
The protagonist becomes the navigator for Jan Rex Cope, a legendary propaganda pilot known as Wings, the Savior of Theve. After Cope dies when their plane is shot down, the player secretly takes his place and inherits his nickname to serve the FCU's propaganda machine.
Cinematics unfold primarily through the protagonist's eyes, placing players directly in rooms or cockpits with other characters. The DualSense controller provides haptic feedback, and players can look around with the right analog stick or use buttons to respond to yes-or-no questions and interact at key moments.
Ace Combat 8 launches on October 2 on PlayStation 5, bringing players directly into the skies of Strangereal with a heavy emphasis on characters, squad relationships, and radio communications.
