The developers of Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve have released a new video titled "The Art of Aircraft," focusing on aircraft details. Project Aces showcased their exterior and interiors, with particular attention to the cockpits.
The video features the F-22A Raptor, Gripen E, MiG-21bis, Rafale M, Eurofighter Typhoon, Mirage 2000-5, and other aircraft.
The developers paid special attention to the environment. Despite using Unreal Engine 5, the team created their own engine for generating multi-layered clouds. This allowed for a more realistic and diverse sky, as well as enhancing the contrast between it and the ground.
In the game, the Central Usea Federation will enter into conflict with the Sotoa Republic. Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve will be released on October 2 for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC.
