Ace Combat, a hybrid arcade-style flight action game franchise first released in 1995, focuses on fast-paced action and surprising plot twists. One of the longest running arcade flight action series, the franchise has sold over 16 million copies, tying with Super Robot Wars for Bandai Namco's sixth best-selling franchise behind Tekken, Pac-Man, Gundam, Tales, and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Naruto: Ultimate Ninja.

The main series is set in a fictionalized world of fictional countries, though many details closely mirror real-life events, locations and wars. The franchise allows players to pilot a range of aircraft that closely resemble modern military aircraft, unused prototypes, and fictional superweapons. The series maintains a coꦗntinuity by referencing certain characters and events from one game to another.

There have been seven titles in the main series, the last being 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, which was released in 2019 for the PS4, Xbox One, and PC t🐼hrough Steam. The game features several upgrades, including multiple game modes, enhanced ship tuning, and VR support through PlayStation VR. The game follows Trigger, an Osean🌞 pilot who is falsely accused of murder.

As a convict, he must take part in the war against the Kingdom of Erusea, which hopes to conquer the entire Usean continent after being defeated in Ace C🎃ombat 4. The game also features three VR missions centered on Mobius 1 that take place five years before the events of the main game.
