The first numbered title in more than a decade since 2007's Ace Combat 6, Ace Combat 7 is the first game of the series to feature PlayStation VR, with a noted focus on the use of volumetric clouds as a gameplay mechanic. At no other time in Ace Combats 20+ year history has gaming technology allowed us to deliver the minute details of flight combat - such as cloud cover and air currents - or give players a new way to experience dogfights and attack sorties through hardware such as the new PlayStation VR.Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown is the twelfth note thirtheenth if you count Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy as separate from Ace Combat 2 (eighteenth overall) game in the Ace Combat series that's set in Strangereal. The combination of the Unreal 4 Engine and the power of current generation consoles and PC hardware have literally opened the "skies of opportunity" to us to develop the best Ace Combat experience to-date. We take our art very seriously and that means we have instead chosen to devote additional time and effort to perfect and optimize this newest chapter of the Ace Combat saga. We would have loved to launch Ace Combat 7 at the end of 2017 as we originally intended, but doing so would compromise our goal for the game. To reach that vision, we have decided to move the launch of Ace Combat 7 to 2018. The Project ACES team and I have been working hard on Ace Combat 7 and we're determined to achieve the vision we have set for the game.
I wanted to take this opportunity to speak with you directly, our loyal Ace Combat fans, and give you a first-hand update on the launch timing for Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown.
