ACE COMBAT 8: WINGS OF THEVE, released on October 2 for Xbox Series X|S, continues the series' legacy of arcade-style flight combat and cinematic storytelling. The title introduces advanced cloud rendering technology and detailed environmental design, ranging from expansive maps to the interior of the carrier Endurance.
Gameplay features over 30 aircraft categorized into fighters, attackers, multirole, and electronic warfare units. Players earn credits through missions to unlock new planes and upgrades. Customization options allow for performance enhancements, such as improved mobility or targeting, which the reviewer notes adds significant replayability to the campaign.
The reviewer highlights the Joker Squadron as a standout addition, noting that these AI wingmen provide emotional depth and tactical support. Players can issue specific commands via the directional pad to coordinate attacks or request defensive maneuvers. Unlike previous entries, the narrative unfolds through first-person, in-engine sequences between missions, allowing players to interact with characters on the carrier.
The reviewer praises the game for evolving the series' established formula, describing it as a visually stunning experience where combat feels like high-stakes aerial chess. While the reviewer found the missions challenging and rewarding, they noted that the game remains accessible to newcomers through a series of training missions.
