This week, publisher BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment dropped a new “HOUR ZERO” live action teaser for their up-and-coming flight combat simucade title ‘ACE COMBAT 8: WINGS OF THEVE’. This teaser books talent from popular television and film, who I presume are very popular (in my defence the last time I watched a movie was on a plane and quickly zonked out):

HOUR ZERO, the prequel to ACE COMBAT 8: WINGS OF THEVE, is a short film designed to introduce fans and newcomers to the series and the Ace Combat world view. 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. Told in reverse and grounded in the family lives of its three leads, their stories count down to the moment when their normal lives were shattered and war began. Their story sets the stage for the narrative players will experience in the deep, engaging Campaign Mode in ACE COMBAT 8: WINGS OF THEVE.

ACE COMBAT 8: WINGS OF THEVE will launch across PC via Steam, Xbox Series, and PlayStation 5 consoles on 2 October—pre-orders will include a free copy of ‘ACE COMBAT ZERO: THE BELKAN WAR’ (and likely your only chance of securing this title on modern platforms).
