Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve is coming to Steam and consoles in 2026

Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve was announced at The Game Awards today, and I know at least a couple people who are probably vibrating.

If you’re wondering what the heck a “Theve” is, it’s the capital of The Federation of Central Usea (obviously). The dogfighting game is set in 2029, and casts you as “a fighter pilot, adrift at sea in a rescue boat until the outdated aircraft carrier, Endurance, pulls you aboard.”
