About This Guide

This is an independent, unofficial fan guide to ACE COMBAT 8: WINGS OF THEVE. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc. or Bandai Namco Aces Inc. All trademarks, aircraft names, and game assets referenced belong to their respective owners.

How we source information

Every claim on this site is either sourced directly from Bandai Namco's official channels (press releases, the official game site, State of Play/Game Awards trailers, Steam and PlayStation Store listings) or clearly labeled as an editor estimate pending official confirmation. Pages that contain estimated data — like aircraft stat ratings before launch — carry a visibleEst.badge so it's never confused with confirmed information.

How often this is updated

We're tracking every official Bandai Namco announcement in the run-up to the October 2, 2026 launch. Aircraft and edition pages show a "Last updated" date so you can see at a glance whether information reflects the latest official reveal. After launch, we shift to verifying every editor estimate against real gameplay.
