Bandai Namco has substantially sweetened the deal if you pre-order Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown on PS4. The game is looking excellent, as evidenced by the above new trailer, but in case that wasn't quite enough for you, the publisher has announced that pre-ordered copies will also include Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War (or Squadron Leader, depending on where you are). Pre-orders will also get the F4-E Phantom II aircraft, along with three skins.
This is good news for fans of the series. After the two PS3 entries underwhelmed, the fact we're now getting two Ace Combat titles on PS4 is great. It also reinforces the fact that AC7 is a return to the series' roots; if it's on the same wavelength as Ace Combat 5 - and it looks to be - we're in for a treat. Well, two treats.
A season pass has also been detailed. For $24.99, you'll receive three new planes, three new stages, and a music player -- or, each item can be purchased separately for $4.99.
What do you think? Is the inclusion of Ace Combat 5 as a bonus enough to get you to pre-order Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown? Don't fly too low in the comments below.

I loved Ace Combat 5!
Well...
It's not as if I needed any more reason to get it.
@RogerRoger I enjoyed it, but for me it didn't quite hit the mark in the same way as AC5.
How they flesh out the vr for this one and not just tag on a couple of mission's or a daft continuous dog fighting mode. It's definately a game that could make perfect use of it.
Ace Combat 5 rules! Great bonus.
@RogerRoger Got to say, I really enjoyed Assault Horizon too.
I haven't played any aerial combat games in a while. This sounds like I should definitely get it. I love Hawx and the Ace Combat game on 3DS so I'll probably grab this. Never played 5 before.
@RogerRoger Nah, I loved it. It was actually my first AC game. Dropping Trinity nukes after completing the main game never gets old. I also found dog fight mode really exciting.
It's interesting that both the consoles get different games for the pre-orders
@b1ackjack_ps I'm guessing it'll be a standard port.
I thought this day would never come, NEED MORE DETAILS! lol is it a remaster or a straight port? wow just need AC4 and AC0 now
@SKC_Diamond AC6 was / is xbox only and AC5 is PS2 only.
Breathed a sigh of relief after reading "However, we know some of you prefer to purchase games physically, so this same offer (minus the dynamic theme) will be available when pre-ordering at retail too!"
Do we get to download AC5 immediately? Or will it be closer to release?
Been a fan since Ace Combat 4 on ps2. Been waiting years for another great game since 5. My God I'm so ready. Add me on PS4 if you wanna jam on PSN. Please include a message on your friend request. Gbpackerfan93
Razgriz truly has returned!
Now if only the recently announced Japanese Collector’s Edition comes westwards in all its glory!
