Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown assaults the sky this week

The long-running air combat action series from Bandai Namco has been offering the players the opportunity to take to the skies and challenge opponents in thrilling dogfights for more than 2O years. It's true that for the fans of the series it could be hard to believe that the new instalment is finally happening. After all, they have been waiting for it since Ace Combat 7: Skies Unkown was announced back in 2015, but the game will be finally hitting the stores in a few days. After a few delays, it is set to hit PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in three days, and it will be available for PC players on February 1.

Ace Combat 7 Skies Unknown features a single player campaign taking place in the present where you will be a pilot with the callsign "Trigger". There is a conflict between the Osean Federation and the Kingdom of Erusea. You are flying for the Oseans but end in jail after being falsely accused of a crime. Ultimately, you will end as part of an expendable penal military unit sent to fight against another threat. But the game offers more than the single-player campaign, and you will test your piloting skills against other players in several online multiplayer game modes including deathmatch, four vs. four team deathmatch and even a Battle Royale mode for up to 8 players. You will be able to fly a wide selection of aircraft with both futuristic and real ones from a list that includes F-15C Eagle, Typhoon, F/A-18F, MiG-31B, A-10C, F-22A, and Su-34 among others. The variety of aircraft and multiple weapons is a well-known characteristic of other titles of the series, but Ace Combat 7: Skies Unkown also brings to the table impressive photorealistic graphics to deliver an immersive and thrilling air combat experience with full 360° movement. You will really enjoy piloting your beautifully rendered aircraft through the sky as you engage enemies in intense battles.

If all that is not enough for you, you will also be able to play through exclusive missions specifically designed for PlayStation VR, taking the immersion to a new level. Just be careful, the game feels so real that it might cause motion sickness on this mode. No matter what, Ace Combat 7 Skies Unknown is definitely an experience you can't miss if you like the genre.
