Look, let's be honest: Bandai Namco Entertainment Korea has officially announced that the Korean edition of the dramatic flight shooting game 'Ace Combat 8: Skies of Sibyl' (ACE COMBAT 8: Skies of Sibyl) has launched today (the 2nd). The game has landed on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Steam, proudly cementing its place as the latest entry in the legendary Ace Combat series.

Carrying the torch for a franchise boasting over 21 million cumulative copies sold worldwide, 'Ace Combat 8: Skies of Sibyl' invites you to step into the flight suit of an elite pilot. The publisher promises an intensely immersive sky where you can freely soar, blast enemies out of the clouds, and chase that unmistakable rush of pure adrenaline and achievement.

If soaring solo isn't quite your thing, the online mode lets you operate as a mercenary pilot out of an air force base lobby, teaming up or dogfighting with aviation nerds across the globe. Racking up impressive performances in missions lets you climb the mercenary ranks, serving up a standalone progression system entirely separate from the main campaign mode.

You can grab the game in both physical and digital flavours. The physical package is available exclusively as a PS5 standard edition, while digital versions span PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Steam across standard and digital deluxe editions. Splashing out on the digital deluxe edition nets you early access rights, aircraft skins, the 'Tasha' online lobby avatar outfit, and the 'Missile Smoke (Scarlet)' aircraft enhancement parts, alongside the base game. Meanwhile, physical pre-order bonuses included a port of 'ACE COMBAT ZERO: THE BELKAN WAR' alongside the playable 'F-14A Tomcat' aircraft.

To mark the launch of 'Ace Combat 8: Skies of Sibyl', Bandai Namco Entertainment Korea is rolling out a celebratory giveaway event. Watch the launch trailer and drop your most anticipated feature in the YouTube comments for a chance to win a special jacket, an orchestra concert CD, or a custom-crafted PS5 controller.
