One game that flies under the radar, funnily enough, is Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, a great instalment in the series that deserves a bit more love. The dogfighting action game focuses on fragging bogeys while piloting kickass fighter jets, as well as telling a story that's as cheesy as they come. It seems like a no-brainer, then, that the game is about to receive some brand new DLC based off its big screen brethren, Top Gun.
Well, Top Gun: Maverick, to be more specific. The new Tom Cruise flick is hitting theatres in about a month's time, and to celebrate, Bandai Namco and developer Project ACES have announced the collaboration:

There are no details right now beyond what's in the above tweet. While the extent of the DLC is yet to be revealed, it's more than fair to assume that planes featured in the film could be making their way to the PlayStation 4 title. As Bamco says, more details are on the way — perhaps between now and the movie's arrival?
Anyway, this is a pretty cool crossover, and we'll take a good excuse to fire up AC7 once more. Are you excited for this Top Gun DLC? Take off in the comments section below.

I am gunna love this movie
They’re definitely pushing the marketing for this. They’ve done a deal with flight sim too. Hope the film is actually decent…and has 50+ year olds playing volleyball
I’d love them to add a new VR mission.
Mission Objective: Do a 4G inverted dive on a MiG-28 and give them the bird.
@SoulChimera That's a deep cut. Nice.
Sub-headline made me laugh out loud!
This collab is cool and all, and I get why they went with the new Top Gun movie, but I rather have the original TG.
Having a dogfight while listning to Danger Zone, Mighty Wings, Take my Breath Away and Great Balls of Fire would be a blast.😊
So excited for this Movie.
Amazing they still supporting AC7. Love the game. Wish they make more Story Missions (or bring the VR ones to PC)
Also, VITA2 runs AC7 at 60FPS on Medium with 11W MAX TDP with zero problems and looks great 😉
It's because both of them are about planes 🤔
Watched Top Gun for first time in 20 odd years over Easter on 4K UHD with Dolby Atmos.
Still cheesy in places (added to it's charm) but what a blast of a movie!! Love it!
I hope they include a tops off each volley ball game!!
You can only wonder how that oxygen mask might have had to be modified for poor Iceman.
Love this game.
Hey, Namco: could we have a native PS5 version with enhanced resolution/framerate and full DualSense support? And while we're at it: PSVR2 support for the whole campaign?
@Art_Vandelay is it easy to get into for beginners?
It always seems to be on sale for a few quid.
Nice user name by the way 👊
@MB81 It most definitely is. I got into AC on 7 and felt no difficulty at all. In fact, it's quite arcadey and fun for anyone with an interest in aircrafts.
LOL cheers, Seinfeld is the best.
This is the best air combat game I've played. I'm still playing it. Campaign for me has high replay value. It topped the Stellar Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII title, which is difficult to do in my opinion.
Isnt this the movie that gave in to China and had to remove a certain flag what losers.
