You gotta give em credit: Bandai is consistently adding the newest, most badass planes to Ace Combat 7, plus they've got a little thing they like to call "photorealistic visuals" to aid the intense dog-fighting action, and they even throw a story in to boot. It's a pretty complete title, especially considering the dearth of dog-fighting titles out on the market right now.
The game takes place in the same fictional universe as the rest of the games in the series, and the story picks up after the events of Ace Combat 4 and Ace Combat 5, with the Osean Federation managing to broker an uneasy peace between Erusea and the rest of the Usean continent, establishing the IUN to maintain peace across the continent, while the previous President, Vincent Harling, works on a space elevator off the Erusean coast to revitalize the continent's economy. However, the space elevator creates resentment among the Eruseans, who see it as an overstep by Osean. Next thing you know, fire and blood is raining from the skies, and it's time to suit up, and start locking onto bogeys.
Give the trailer below a watch, the dogfighting really does look badass and the DLC, which features the ADF-11F Raven.
The DLC is coming "soon" and we'll let you know when that is as soon as they let us know.
