Are you feeling the need…the need for speed? Well, you’re in luck, because Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, the first new core game in Bandai Namco’s air combat series in over a decade, drops next week! As in the past, Ace Combat 7 will feature both single-player and multiplayer action, and Bandai Namco has dropped a trailer showcasing what the game will be like with friends.
Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown’s multiplayer mode lets players enter dogfights with their friends and coordinate battle strategy to take out opposing players. Multiplayer will consist of two variants — the first variant takes on a team death match format featuring 4 vs. 4 dogfights. The second multiplayer variant takes on a traditional death match format, enabling up to eight players to blow each other out of the sky. In both multiplayer modes, only players with skill, guile, and determination will taste victory!
