Strangereal Returns with Real and Fictional Aircraft
Project Aces describes the campaign through the pilot’s role in Strangereal, while official feature material confirms real-world and fictional aircraft in the playable lineup.
What the official material confirms
The combination is central to Ace Combat worldbuilding: authentic aircraft silhouettes operate inside a separate political geography and superweapon tradition.
Why this matters to players
New readers can avoid mistaking FCU or Sotoa for real states while still using real aircraft names and roles accurately.
What is still unconfirmed
The complete world map, borders and every historical connection to prior conflicts have not been released.
