For quite some time now, there hasn’t been any fresh news regarding the Ace Combat series, not even as it celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. The industry whispers suggest a new game has been in the works for years, but since the initial development announcement, no further details about Ace Combat 8 or whatever it might be called have surfaced. However, according to Kazutoki Kono, who handles the Ace Combat brand, we might hear something about this upcoming announcement very soon.

This week on Ace Combat’s 30th anniversary, Kono posted a message on the game’s official website. In it, Kono thanked fans for their support throughout the years and looked back on the history of the series. He also shared a sneak peek at what’s coming next, encouraging fans to stay tuned and keep an eye out for future updates.

It seems like the statement “everything is in order” hints that Bandai Namco might soon unveil a significant update or a fresh installment in the Ace Combat series.
