Gamescom 2017: Ace Combat 7 Brings All of the Melodrama You Can Take

Top fun

Who doesn’t love a bit of international beef? Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown has it by the bucketload, after the construction of the Osean Federation’s space elevator forces Princess Rosa Cossette D’Elise of the Kingdom of Erusea to incite some kind of response from her people. Cue crazy arcade dogfighting action.

In case you missed the news earlier in the year, the game’s been delayed until 2018, but it continues to look really dumb – in the best possible way.

I've never played an Ace Combat game but I'm pretty excited for this.

I think the story could end up being really good anime-style daftness.

This is suddenly on my radar. It sounds gloriously nonsensical.

Sounds like the music will live up to previous entries.

@sketchturner ace combat was the best vr game on display at e3. The gameplay showcase literally blew me away during some downtime at e3. I was in between streams on here and it popped up and was one of my favourites of the show.
