The game entered into its open beta stage on February 4th, this was however short lived with the beta period ending on February 11th. The team at Project Aces listens very carefully to its players, and is bringing the best the series has to offer to Ace Combat Infinity, with plenty of new surprises too.”Īce Combat Infinity will be making use of established canon material despite the free to play model, including the Stonehenge Railgun Network Superstructure and the multi airborne fortress fleet, Estovakian Aerial. The reasoning this is apparently based in the want of bringing the Ace Combat series to as many players as possible, the SVP (senior vice president) of Bandai Namco Games, Oliver Comte elaborated on the matter by saying “The Ace Combat franchise has evolved dramatically over the years, but never before have we been able to offer its amazing graphics and tactical action for free. This all coincided with the simultaneous announcement of the game through the official Namco Bandai Games website (European), this was also the first time the game was announced to have adopted the free to play model (much to the displeasure of many fans of the series) which marked the first time an Ace Combat game would be available as a free to play title. The campaign which served as a large teaser for the game was primarily ran by then Namco Bandai, now Bandai Namco Games and Director of Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Kazutoki Kono via a series of twitter posts from Kono’s personal account and the Project Aces tweet feed.Īfter finishing with the teaser campaign a more direct approach was taken on with the release of a short trailer later on July 19th (46 seconds) which was followed another trailer on August 2nd. Ace Combat Infinity was first officially and fully unveiled for the public on July 11th when the games official website went live after a long running advertising campaign finally came to a close.
