Return to the world of Strangereal in a new high-altitude war

ACE COMBAT 8: WINGS OF THEVE Deluxe Edition Steam North America+LATAM is a flight action game developed by Bandai Namco Aces Inc. and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc. The new main chapter of the series puts you in the role of a pilot destined to become a symbol of hope for the Federation of Central Usea during a devastating invasion.

Released in October 2026, ACE COMBAT 8 combines high-speed arcade aerial combat, realistic military aircraft, a cinematic campaign, online multiplayer, and environments built with Unreal Engine 5 alongside dedicated cloud simulation technologies.

The Deluxe Edition also includes additional content, cosmetic items, and the Premium ACE Pass Plus Voucher.

Fight to reclaim the Federation of Central Usea

The story is set in July 2029.

The Federation of Central Usea, known as the FCU, has been overwhelmed by a rapid invasion from the Republic of Sotoa.

The capital, Theve, has fallen, large parts of the territory are occupied, and the national navy has been almost completely destroyed.

The protagonist is rescued at sea by the aging aircraft carrier Endurance, now transformed into one of the FCU’s last operational bases.

On board, the pilot receives a name destined to change the course of the war: Wings of Theve.

What began as a myth created to keep public morale alive must now become reality.

Become the new Wings of Theve

The title Wings of Theve represents the symbol on which the FCU population places its hopes.

As the new ace, you must prove yourself worthy of the legend.

Each mission takes you back into occupied skies to strike Sotoan forces, protect allied units, and help reclaim lost territory.

The protagonist does not fight alone.

Three new squadmates accompany you throughout the campaign, forming a group of pilots whose bonds gradually deepen.

Radio dialogue, narrative sequences, and first-person cinematics strengthen the story between missions.

Take off from the aircraft carrier Endurance

The Endurance serves as the main operational base of the campaign.

It is an aging aircraft carrier that continues to fight despite the destruction of most of the FCU’s naval forces.

Its decks host both military personnel and refugees, turning it into both a military base and a symbol of resistance.

From this ship, you will launch into numerous missions.

The connection with the Endurance gives continuity to the campaign and reinforces the feeling of belonging to a force fighting with limited resources against a stronger enemy.

Master spectacular and accessible aerial combat

ACE COMBAT 8 maintains the philosophy that made the series famous.

Aircraft are inspired by real military fighters, but the gameplay prioritizes speed, spectacle, and accessibility over extreme simulation.

You can engage in high-speed dogfights, chase targets, launch missiles, and use special weapons against different types of threats.

Missions can alternate between air-to-air combat and attacks against ground or naval targets.

Speed, distance management, and the ability to keep enemies within your firing window become essential during the most intense encounters.

Pilot authentic military aircraft

ACE COMBAT 8 offers a selection of aircraft inspired by real military jets.

Each fighter features different characteristics in terms of speed, maneuverability, and offensive capability.

You can find aircraft focused mainly on air superiority as well as multirole models capable of adapting to different mission types.

Choosing the right aircraft therefore becomes an important part of preparation.

A highly agile fighter may offer an advantage in dogfights, while an aircraft capable of carrying specific weapons may be better suited to attacking ground targets.

Choose special weapons for every mission

In addition to standard weapons, aircraft can use different special armaments.

Your equipment choices directly influence how you approach each mission.

Long-range air-to-air missiles allow you to engage certain targets before entering close combat.

Other weapons are instead designed to destroy ground targets, naval units, or large groups of enemies.

Studying the briefing and selecting an appropriate loadout can make a major difference in the most demanding missions.

Fly through dynamic skies and volumetric clouds

ACE COMBAT 8 uses Unreal Engine 5 together with proprietary technology dedicated to sky rendering.

Clouds are not merely decorative.

Large volumetric formations cross the battlefield and contribute to the spectacle of aerial combat.

Flying through clouds can affect visibility and make some targets more difficult to identify immediately.

Cities, coastlines, oceans, and large military environments are rendered with a level of detail designed to emphasize the sensation of speed.

Experience a cinematic campaign

Campaign mode is one of the main pillars of the experience.

ACE COMBAT 8 combines aerial missions with cinematic narrative sequences.

Some moments are shown directly from the pilot’s first-person perspective, increasing the feeling of truly being aboard the Endurance and part of the conflict.

The story follows the FCU’s struggle to reclaim its territory and the gradual rise of the Wings of Theve legend.

Radio communications during combat also help tell the story without interrupting the action.

Fight alongside the members of Joker Flight

During the campaign, you become part of a squadron involved in the FCU counteroffensive.

Your squadmates are more than additional aircraft on screen.

Dialogue and narrative situations allow you to gradually learn about their personalities.

The relationships built during missions become an important part of the story.

Fighting together while the FCU’s situation continues to change strengthens the emotional side of the campaign.

Take on more than thirty campaign missions

The campaign offers more than thirty missions with different objectives and environments.

Operations can include battles against enemy fighters, attacks on fleets, defense of allied units, and large-scale military actions.

The variety of objectives prevents progression from becoming a simple succession of identical dogfights.

Some missions reward speed and precision, while others depend more heavily on choosing the right aircraft and weapons.

As the campaign progresses, combat intensity increases and new threats are introduced.

Earn MRP and expand your fleet

Completing missions and activities allows you to earn MRP.

This resource is used to unlock new aircraft, upgrades, and weapons.

Progression therefore gradually expands the options available before each operation.

New fighters may offer better performance or specific characteristics that make them especially effective in certain situations.

Experimenting with different configurations becomes important for finding the aircraft that best matches your playstyle.

Take part in the largest multiplayer experience in the series

ACE COMBAT 8 also expands the multiplayer component.

You can face other pilots through different online modes and directly test your aerial combat skills.

Competitive PvP multiplayer is available.

Online cooperative activities are also included.

Cross-platform multiplayer allows players on supported platforms to meet online, expanding the community available for battles.

Multiplayer therefore becomes an important part of the experience even after completing the campaign.

Experience a spectacular balance between arcade action and realism

ACE COMBAT has always occupied a unique position within the flight-game genre.

Aircraft maintain a realistic and recognizable appearance, but the controls are designed to deliver spectacular and accessible combat.

You do not need to learn every procedure of a true military simulator before you can enjoy the game.

At the same time, mastering speed, turns, attack angles, and positioning takes practice.
