Ace Combat 8 Devs Urge No Spoilers for New Game and Classic Zero
Bandai Namco’s Project Aces team has issued a spoiler prevention notice ahead of Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve’s October 2 release. While the standard request asks players to label spoilers in online posts, the developer added an unusual extension: fans should also avoid spoiling the plot of Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War.
This twenty-year-old title is included as a pre-order bonus alongside an F-14A jet. Developers likely aim to preserve narrative freshness for newcomers who may experience the classic story for the first time through this modern port. The request prompted amusement among Japanese players regarding how one avoids spoiling such an old game.
Wings of Theve launches on Windows via Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
