Message

We have also received a message from Kazuaki Kono, brand director of the Ace Combat series.
(Original text below)

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown has sold 3 million copies, the highest in the series. And now the Ace Combat series is taking on a new challenge, taking to even more uncharted skies."

In his comments on the series' 25th anniversary in 2020, he said, "I don't usually talk about the future, not knowing what will happen," but he promised the fans, "We will achieve what we could not.

Thus, at the beginning of 2021, I further imposed on myself "to connect what I want to do with what I should do," and I have made my best efforts to this point. With your help, we have worked together to realize what we wanted to do and should have done, such as the orchestra concert, the development of original goods, and the release of several additional contents. On top of that, we were even able to receive the unexpected joy of Ace Combat 7's 3 million unit sales.
I would like to thank the staff of PROJECT ACES, Namco Bandai Entertainment, and the many other people involved, as well as all of you who have continued to support us, without whom we could not have done this. Thank you very much.

As we enter the second half of 2021, we are already in a situation where we cannot see the future, but we will take on the even greater challenge of "connecting what we want to do with what we should do.

Let me talk once again about the future, which I usually don't talk about. It is because we have made a decision to "open up the future by ourselves" to "the future that we don't know what will happen.
After 25 years, the Ace Combat series still enjoys worldwide support, and this time we have reached a milestone in the series. At the same time, however, we realized that the values of the series are becoming increasingly fragmented as more and more players play it, and we faced the reality that we at PROJECT ACES alone are not strong enough to provide fans with "satisfaction that always exceeds expectations" and "emotional quality" in the future. We have come to realize that we need more developers to join the Ace Combat series and expand our development team. Connecting the Ace Combat series for the next 5 or 10 years became what we wanted to do and what we should do now.

As we have already announced, we have formed a business alliance with ILCA Corporation, which has deep ties to the Ace Combat series, and have begun production of a new Ace Combat and are recruiting personnel.

We are looking for talented people to help us make the Ace Combat series the best brand in the world. And to our fans, please look forward to the new Ace Combat challenge. We will continue to strive for quality and excitement with sincerity and sincerity.
