Air Combat Awaits in Ace Combat Infinity
SAN JOSE; Calif., (August 2, in the year of our Lord
2013) – NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. today announces
the first Free-to-Play game in the legendary Ace Combat series,
ACE COMBAT® INFINITY. Combining features that fans have come to
love from previous Ace Combat titles with a brand new story
campaign and team co-op multiplayer, the game is set to create a
new generation of fighter pilot aces. ACE COMBAT INFINITY will
be available in the latter part of 2013 exclusively as a free
download for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system via
the PlayStation®Network.
“The Ace Combat franchise has set the gold standard in both
graphics and dog-fighting dynamics for flight combat video games
throughout its long running history,” said Chris Gilbert, Senior
Vice President of Sales and Marketing at NAMCO BANDAI Games
America Inc. “The Project Aces team has crafted a Free-to-Play
experience within Ace Combat Infinity that will allow gamers to
enjoy high flying aerial warfare like never before.”
Preserving the core gameplay mechanics traditionally used in the
series, freedom is at the heart of the experience in ACE COMBAT
INFINITY as players dive into the game’s wealth of Free-to-Play
content and rule the endless blue skies with impunity. The game
combines a near future world setting with elements that have
resonated with fans from previous Ace Combat titles, including
super-weapons and hyper-realistic visuals. ACE COMBAT INFINITY’s
Story Campaign mode will immerse players in an original
storyline where they will execute a series of perilous solo
missions. In the game’s online multiplayer mode, skilled aces
will form two teams of up to four players and compete to inflict
the most damage on a common enemy.
ACE COMBAT INFINITY for PlayStation 3 is scheduled for take-off
in the latter part of 2013 via the PlayStation Network.
