Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve

Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve is an arcade-style combat flight game developed by Bandai Namco Aces (Project Aces) and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. The campaign casts players as a pilot rescued at sea by the ageing carrier Endurance, which is packed with refugees and has retreated far from the front line. Given the name of a legendary ace that turns out to be a morale-boosting invention, the pilot flies with three new squadmates to retake the homeland of Theve. Between missions, first-person scenes develop the squad. A new online mode adds a social lobby, co-op missions and cross-platform play.

It launched on 2 October 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
