Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve Game Streams Opening Cinematic – News
Game launches on October 2 with Deluxe Edition debuting early on September 29
Bandai Namco Entertainment America began streaming a 16-minute opening cinematic trailer for Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve, the newest game in its Ace Combat modern air combat franchise, on Thursday.
The game will launch on October 2 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. Players will also receive Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War as a pre-order bonus for the game. The game’s Deluxe Edition will launch on September 29.
The main online multiplayer modes include Co-Op Assault, in which two teams of four players compete for high scores in missions, and Co-Op Warfare, in which two teams of four play against each other and NPCs.
IGN streamed the first three episodes of Ace Combat Hour Zero, a live-action prequel series for the game, on its website and YouTube channel on September 15, 17, and 23. It will stream the fourth episode on September 29. Each episode is 6-11 minutes long.
The prequel stars Josh Holloway (Lost) as a pilot, Brandon Routh (Superman Returns) as a doctor, and Tamlyn Tomita (Cobra Kai) as a news anchor.
IGN describes the prequel’s story:
In the series, three strangers survive the opening days of the Republic of Sotoa’s invasion of the Federation of Central Usea. Josh Holloway stars as a pilot with nowhere to land, Brandon Routh as a doctor who saved his enemy, and Tamlyn Tomita as a news anchor silenced for telling the truth.
Bandai Namco Entertainment released the Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown game in January 2019 for PlayStation 4 (with PlayStation VR support) and Xbox One, and in February 2019 for PC via Steam. The game was originally slated for 2017, but was delayed to 2018 before the latest delay to 2019. The game is also available to play on Xbox Series X|S. Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown Deluxe Edition launched digitally exclusively for Switch in July 2024.
Namco released the first Ace Combat game in 1992.

Let’s have a look at what ANN readers consider the best (and worst) of the season,
based on the polls you can find in our Daily Streaming Reviews
and on the Your Score page with the latest simulcasts.
Keep in mind that these rankings are based on how people rated individual episodes of the current season, not on the overall quality or popularity of the series.
Only the titles legally streaming in North America and popular enough are being ranked, so the bottom of the list might represent ‘watchable’ rather than ‘bad’.
Series that lack enough user votes will not qualify for the ranking.
See the notes for further details.

Episode Rankings for the week of September 16-22
Along the actual ranking for this week’s episodes, this graph chronicles the change in position from week to week.
While some series are stable, others swing wildly in the rankings depending on the strength of each episode.
When a series has no episode for a given week, the previous week’s episode is used instead as a placeholder.
The first episode of each series is considered as part of the first week, even if it really streamed during the second week.

Notes
Disclaimer: the rankings are just an average of opinions, published for entertainment and information purposes.
ANN makes no claims regarding statistical significance or invulnerability to spam.
The rankings are computed using the Ranked pairs method,
with the variation that unrated titles are considered as abstentions instead of lower than the rated titles.
This roughly means that if, out of all people who rated both A and B, 60% preferred A, it will be ranked higher than B.
The rankings indicate relative quality (A is preferred to B), not absolute quality (B is good/bad).
While the titles are ranked from ‘best’ to ‘worst’, sometimes the difference between #1 and #10 can be very thin.
So if your favorite is near the bottom of the list, don’t take it personally.
It doesn’t mean it’s a bad show, it just means that ANN readers, on average, have preferred the ones above.
If a series has no episode for a given week, we use the rating data for the previous week’s episode in order to compute the weekly ranking.
This is not officially counted as a position in the ranking (it has no impact on the cumulative ranking), but it makes it easier to compare weeks if they each have the same number of series ranked.
It should be noted that long-running series (and sequels) have an advantage in the sense that only people who like the series are still watching it, and they are likely to give each episode a high rating.
But if such a series is going through a low-quality filler arc, the season will get low rankings that are not indicative of the true overall quality of the series.
Conversely, there are fewer people rating the show so it’s less likely to have enough votes to qualify for the ranking.
