Be sure to see for yourself what these other threats are all about and get ready to take to the skies when Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve launches on PS5 on October 2, 2026.

The latest installment in the flight-shooting series, Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve releases on October 2, 2026.

From fierce battles against formidable enemy Sotoan ace squadrons to colossal superweapons that pose a threat to the Federation of Central Usea, players will face new threats and learn what secrets lie ahead in Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve.

Let’s deep dive into the story and be sure to stick around to the end for an exclusive reveal on a fan-favorite mode that is confirmed in the franchise’s next release!

Dogfights are notorious within the Ace Combat series as you engage in exhilarating dogfight against daunting rival aces.

In this Annihilation Battle, you’ll face key enemy facilities―including a solar power plant, an oil tank, an air base, and an ammo dump ―all while making good use of supply lines where you can replenish your own weapons during the mission. The gameplay offers a high degree of freedom within the time limit, allowing players to devise their own strategies―such as deciding which enemies to take down and in what order, as well as when to return to the “return line” to reload their weapons.

Outside of the Annihilation Mission, you’ll face numerous enemies or have to evade their threats.
