The occasion was too good for Bandai Namco Entertainment. Indeed, the Japanese publisher announces on Twitter that during this spring, Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown will be the subject of a DLC dedicated to Top Gun: Maverick – which, we remind you, will be released on May 25th. That’s about all you need to remember since we are told that more details will be communicated later. Suddenly, we take the opportunity to remember that Microsoft Flight Simulator will also be entitled to its extension dedicated to the film, Asobo Studio having always affirmed that the pack would land at the same time as Top Gun: Maverick.
This spring, #ACECOMBAT 7: SKIES UNKNOWN and the movie #TopGunMaverick will release collaborative aircraft DLC!

Coming back to the Ace Combat saga, let’s not forget that Kazutoki Kono, the licensing director, confirmed last summer that Ace Combat 8 was in development and would run on the Unreal Engine 5. According to the latest figures, Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown totals more than three million copies distributed worldwide.
