If a nuke falls in the woods but nobody is left alive to hear it, does it make a sound? It looks like we might get an answer to this question this October, as Ace Combat 8 gears up to be the second-ever game in the franchise to feature an atomic bomb going off.
The gigantic mushroom cloud and shockwave were featured in a 'blink and you'll miss it' shot during the Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve release date trailer in today's PlayStation State of Play showcase event.
While Ace Combat has always had a flair for the dramatic, to put it mildly, the franchise has always been shy about nukes, given both in-universe and real-world constraints. Combined with the recent confirmation that the game will have the most mature rating in the series, today's trailer is an indication that Project Aces isn't pulling any punches with this entry.
Fox 2(nd October)!
As cool and unexpected as the nuke sequence was, the main news of the day is that we finally have an official release date (no, the May 30 PEGI one doesn't count).
Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve is coming out on October...
