Initiate the afterburners

Ace Combat: Infinity, the next entry in Namco Bandai’s popular air combat series, will take flight exclusively on the PlayStation 3, according to the teaser trailer embedded below. In addition to the sound of a giggling schoolgirl, the footage includes the quote: “That day our sky fell, the heavens split to create new skies." But what does it mean?

The trailer seems to hint at some kind of asteroid colliding with the Earth, but it’s pretty cryptic. Regardless, it’s interesting that the game appears to be exclusive to Sony’s system, as previous release Ace Combat: Assault Horizon was a multiformat affair. Could it be a free-to-play instalment like Tekken Revolution? We suppose that we’ll have to wait and see.
