Namco Bandai has recently unveiled the latest in the ongoing popular Ace Combat series. Ace Combat Assault Horizon is the long awaited follow-up to Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation. Details about the release are few and even the release date itself is currently unknown. However the Namco Bandai press release has a projected 2011 date which is right around the corner.
What is known is that Ace Combat Assault Horizon will feature both online multiplayer components as well as single player modes. A short trailer featuring game play and some screen shots were also released which can be seen below. Judging by what they show, you can expect non stop action, very graphic air combat with realistic effects, missiles hitting planes, flying debris and aircraft being ripped apart. In the past Ace Combat games were released solely for the Xbox 360. However, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 users are in luck this time around as this title will be released on these two platforms.
Even though Ace Combat Assault Horizon picks up where its 2007 predecessor left off, don’t expect this to be a standard follow-up release. The producers of the game claim this will be a rebirth in the series with lots of new unseen features while taking the players into a new direction. Action will include high speed flying throughout the city in between skyscrapers, helicopter fights and shooting enemies with ground level consequences. Not only are you unsafe in the air but the falling fires and burning oil from the sky turn the streets into a war zone as well. Keep this in mind as you may have to quickly eject from your aircraft and parachute right into it! This is the most explosive air combat game in the Ace Combat franchise. Ace Combat Assault Horizon is rated PEGI 12 due to violence.
