PlayStation’s State of Play debuted the first official trailer for Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve, locking in a worldwide release on October 2.
The footage highlighted dogfights and pilot-versus-pilot aerial combat, while Bandai Namco kept story details for the eighth mainline entry under wraps.
Bandai Namco had already said the game is coming to PS5, Xbox Series and PC via Steam, with pre-orders offering an F-14A bonus and Ace Combat Zero access.
State of Play also featured nearly 10 minutes of Marvel’s Wolverine gameplay and about 20 minutes from God of War: Laufey, which still lacks a release date.
