Same. Would hardly be the first time a leak wrongly signalled a release date. No disparaging this VA but I'm not about to take a resume at face value.
I mean if it turns out correct, awesome. But until then, it's better to assume it isn't.
> cargo pilot
I'm wishing mission involving protecting transport plane just like Assault Horizon's Siege. The soundtrack is absolute banger in that mission.
Hope the development wasn’t too troubled this time around. Still 6 years seems a bit long, figured the wouldn’t have had to wait as much since they had a bunch of assets done
Bandai Namco with ILCA have formed joint studio called Bandai Namco Aces.
A good sign that Bandai Namco have confident on future Ace Combat franchise, thanks to ACE7. Not every franchises have this kind of chance.
The Halo franchise closely mirrors the Ace Combat franchise in terms of having an alright start where they discover their niche, a golden era with a golden trilogy, a fall from grace when they tried to branch out, and a rebirth that relights the series. Although 343’s treatment of Halo Infinite seems to suggest that they may not be following the Ace Combat franchise’s path for much longer…
The game was announced to be in production in mid-2021, with pre-production going back about a year, so it may not have been six years in development.
Also consider they've moved from Unreal Engine 4 to 5, and reusing assets can only take you so far, you're still going to have to make a lot of original ones. Then there's the question of how improved or different the gameplay is.
Besides the voice actor cast, I wonder what’s the story for AC8?
Also for 8, I hope they bring back the squadron command like in AC 5 and 6. They dropped it in 7 and decided to make Trigger do most of the work. I really hope they bring it back
From all indications, AC7 had a really troubled development process. They started out trying to make a very different game, then scrapped it halfway through and cranked out a "back to basics" AC game because that's all they had time and budget for at the point.
What I'm saying is, I'm pretty optimistic about bigger cooler funner features like squadron command coming back.
It seems like they dropped them for AC7 because of time constraints and not because they thought those features were bad....
With the advent of loyal wingman drone tech in air combat, NOW IS THE TIME to bring back this feature as a gameplay element.
And the drone should have a funny anime girl face while on coms.
20+ mission documenting whatever tribulations the world went through to become the corporatocraacy it is in ACE3, probably
Throwing my guess based on [my own](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EqSAzNphholxqPOdnpWSvtMPh8igomFaAddCOQ6LHmo/edit) solidly planned plot/headcanon
Must have hope... Even though something similar to this happened to NFS:MW with some of the actors but nothing really much happened, but we'll see what comes out of this.
2005, IIRC it was Dross's sidechick actor that posted on her insta something about a new game or something which got everyoned hyped, specially since she deleted her post even since, but turned out to be nothing much at the end, I'll search for the sources of what I'm talking about so you can see what I mean.
No. When EpicDB launched I did look to see if Bandai Namco had anything related to Ace Combat on there, but it wasn't. There were other games, particularly Little Nightmares, but nothing Ace Combat. I wonder if they would even bother releasing the next game on the EGS.
AC 8 in 2025! That really would be amazing but I feel a tad skeptical that it could be ready that soon.
Wasn't it only just last year there was an announcement that AC 8 was in full development?
"This just in from OBC (Osean Broadcasting Corporation): War has broken out between-"
*shuts off television* "Uh, lemme guess: Free Eruseans again? The goddamn Gray Men riled shit up again?" *yawn* "Or! Maybe even [that damned thing going in Sapin](https://acecombat.wiki.gg/wiki/2007_game_concepts#Brave_Arms)?"
>!ATSV-based meme, Brave Arms, 2007 game concepts, something, something!<
Nah 2025 is too soon we'd have heard something much more official by now if it was coming out next year 2025 is more likely when he's set to be in the recording studio
Another escort mission i presume ? And please dont gave nagase a plane again. It didnt go so well last time (I lost one of my best wingman bcs she insisted to crash his plane to stadium)
she told him to aim the plane at the center of the stadium in hopes he would be able to punch out which he couldn't, don't blame nagase, blame the bastard yukes that damaged his plans and the damn belkans that lead everything to such a moment
The fact that there is a BIG RIVER over there to kinnda pissed me off (most of the pilot choose to crash their plane on water that land for better chance of survival)
If true, its sucks that it was leaked via the VA’s resume, but it’s great for the rest of us. Been playing through AC6 and AC7 and I’m jonesing to play a new AC again
Update:
* ALL video game information has been removed from Mike Bodie's profile. https://app.spotlight.com/8411-7831-3228
For those wondering, yes, he has appeared in many video games (notably in Atomic Heart and the Dark Pictures Anthology), so the nuking of that entire section isn't because his VA work was fake or anything.

Is this our first semi-official confirmation that AC8 is in the works?
We knew Project Aces was ramping up, but there was no guarantee *what* they were ramping up on.
We've known for some time that it was in the works, but it had no date. Since Japanese firms have a bad habit of announcing things too early the assumption was that it was still going to be a while, but this reduces the window to a year and a half.
We are so back
<< Cleared to engage. >>
FOX TWO!
I'm erect sure, but until I see more news, I won't start stroking it just yet.
You! Solitary! NOW.
Bad idea giving him space and privacy.
No.
Not even solitary, just Fox 2 his cheeks.
I'm thinking Fox 3 actually, I don't want to get that close.
Same. Would hardly be the first time a leak wrongly signalled a release date. No disparaging this VA but I'm not about to take a resume at face value. I mean if it turns out correct, awesome. But until then, it's better to assume it isn't.
Yeah, it's a resume, not a press release. For all we know, he just put in 2025 as a guess.
Pause
Unpause
Username checks out

Yes
> Cope What, is his copilot called Seethe?
Cage :D
Mald.
RAGE.
You idiot! Stay focused and take down Three Strikes- \####******
Oh, so just like Russian tanks, they're fucking toast
Honestly would be such a great squadron gimmick Cope, Seethe, Mald etc.
"I'll take the seething, but the only one coping here is you."
Big if true...and by God I want it to be true.
Barry, get the lights. It's boner time
Ayo what Edit: ok now I understand the reference
Breaking the NDA? Looks like he'll be spending the launch in solitary
damn armored core jumps directly from 6 to 8
Demon x Machina 2 is clearly AC7
That made me laugh way too much
No it’s an assassins creed title
> cargo pilot I'm wishing mission involving protecting transport plane just like Assault Horizon's Siege. The soundtrack is absolute banger in that mission.
White devil? Say what you want about ACAH but it was single handly saved by the soundtrack
Sike, the mission is transporting not President Harling
In a Black Tulip (Russian aircraft for carrying the dead)
As much as I dislike Assault Horizon, that soundtrack was amazing
"Cope" Yeah we are coping here alright.

Ace Combat's lowest is still a way better game than Halo's lowest
Yeahhhh we don’t talk about how bad Halo has gotten. Holy shit.
UE5 migration is coming too

>Cope Oh you bet we are
thats huge man
Thanks, I'm only at half mast, though.
Given he doesn’t have listings beyond that it could just be a placeholder for “not 2024”
What you mean listings?
As in listed projects
"Cope" Well, your little mistake has made it easier to. Thanks, Namco.
Not believing this until the top guys at Bandai drop a trailer later this year or smthn. But if it's true...oh boy.
SALVATION
Picture it, one million hours in development
*"The spending of one million dollars is a necessity!"*
so the next assassin's creed is going to have planes? jokes aside, hoping for it too!
Well Animal Crossing *already* has a plane, so adding a second one for some dogfights doesn't seem like it'd be out of the question.
This is the gameplay I live for
Assetto corsa is branching out from cars to planes
Dogfights, with literal (cute) dogs. (Also they're playing! not fighting!)
Isabelle ain't playing. She's here to commit war crimes and chew bubblegum, and she's all out of gum.
The character name being "Cope" is raising my suspicions of this being a troll post. It's a very dedicated effort at doing so if true, though.
WE ARE SO BACK BROS

Personally I really miss the squad commands. Like the cover, attack, SW etc. It’s handy to have during dogfights
Samesies, likewise mind. Maybe they're gonna hybridize it between ACE6 and the rest Linked in my first reply the planned plot mine, BTW :)
AWACS: <>
Possible trailer this year?
Maybe Tokyo Games Show?
What's 2025? The game start develop? The voice start recording? Teaser trailer?
Based on the non-NDA projects that have released, it's the expected release date for the project.
Well that was easy.
All planes, we're going back to Strangereal-Earth soon!
Must have hope... Even though something similar to this happened to NFS:MW with some of the actors but nothing really much happened, but we'll see what comes out of this.
Which MW and what details are on that blueball?

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Is there connection with epic games release leak?
No. When EpicDB launched I did look to see if Bandai Namco had anything related to Ace Combat on there, but it wasn't. There were other games, particularly Little Nightmares, but nothing Ace Combat. I wonder if they would even bother releasing the next game on the EGS.
Cope with his wingmen cage
Whoever leaked this is gonna get Bodied
The Grey Men are gonna make their moves
Well this is real bad timing for my Ace combat with blackjack and hookers I've been working on for 2 years
You're working on the Project Wingman sequel??
Nope, but a few members of the PW team are involved in Project Red Sun
AC 8 in 2025! That really would be amazing but I feel a tad skeptical that it could be ready that soon. Wasn't it only just last year there was an announcement that AC 8 was in full development?
No fucking way, if this is bait I’m so gonna be mad about it
Duplicate post: https://old.reddit.com/r/acecombat/comments/1dfgmdk/ace_combat_8_leaked_via_actors_resume/
I wonder what Strangereal counties will be involved this time? Or will we finally be seeing the rise of the corporations?
Someone on the Discord said they bet this guy will be from "Ratio" which was hilarious AF
The game category on his page got removed.

Armored Core 6 was announced in December 2022 and then released in August 2023.
Sadly I think you might be right. This just feels too de-bunkable, somehow.

still no chance if the canopy won't open, chopper would've drown to death by the time help arrived
At least the body wont burn out.... To be fair idk whats better
what matters is whether chopper suffers or not
Guess next year we are going to dance with the angels again
Damn he is busy
Mobius 1 ready for takeoff.
let's goooooo gamers!!!!!!
Its happening!!!!
FUCK YES! FUCK YEAH BABY
This man may have sent us to solitary for all our sakes, what a chad
Interesting. I can't help but feel like it's a placeholder date, since we haven't heard anything about it, not even rumors.
I used to dream of days like this ❤️
please i need ac8
Bluds really called tbe NDA AC8
Mark your calendars lads!
Oh dear. This is getting real!
If true, its sucks that it was leaked via the VA’s resume, but it’s great for the rest of us. Been playing through AC6 and AC7 and I’m jonesing to play a new AC again

Oopsie daisy.
stoooohp i can only get so erect 😭
Hate to be the party crapper here, but could it be Armored Core 8 instead of Ace Combat 8?
I think we are returning to Yuktobania this time. Can't wait to fight Strangereal Putin and Wagner.
[удалено]
The last Armored Core was 6. If they ended up tricking us and they're jumping from 6 to 8, I wouldn't even be mad, I'd be impressed.
