It’s already out now on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

Dark fantasy RPG The Blood of Dawnwalker is also being featured. Developed by Rebel Wolves using Unreal Engine 5, the game follows Coen, a man transformed into a Dawnwalker who exists between humanity and vampirism.

Powered by Unreal Engine 5 alongside Bandai Namco’s proprietary technology, the game promises large-scale dogfights and highly realistic visuals as players battle through the skies in what the publisher describes as an “ultra-realistic aerial thrill ride.” Attendees can also try the Hanging Bar Challenge, a physical booth activity tied to the game.

Ace Combat 8: Wings Of Theve is scheduled to release in 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.
