Ace Combat 7 has been a long time coming and it was finally announced at PlayStation Experience today as a PS4/VR exclusive title.

From the sounds of the press release, you’ll be able to play the game without PS VR, which was to be expected but wasn’t exactly made clear at the PlayStation Experience keynote. At least, from my understanding.

Here’s the first official details for Ace Combat 7 via the press release:

ACE COMBAT 7 will astound players with beautifully rendered skies and highly detailed cityscapes but also set the stage for the most engaging aerial battles in the franchise’s storied 20 year history accompanied with an immersive soundtrack. ACE COMBAT 7 will take the elements that the series is known for to a whole new level! Aces who have proven their combat prowess in ACE COMBAT 7’s campaign mode can take their dogfighting skills further with furious online multiplayer battles.

PlayStation®4 players will also be able to get immersed in ACE COMBAT 7’s realism through exclusive features developed specifically for PlayStation®VR.

Below you will find the first screenshots for Ace Combat 7. Stay tuned for further updates on the game’s campaign mode as we have them by following us on Facebook and Twitter.
