We’re sure everyone agrees that any breathtaking view is made even better when accompanied by the appropriate background score. The composers of Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve’s soundtrack know how music, emotion, and nature often intersect and are using that knowledge to great effect in the latest developer diary.
It’s a deep dive into how the sequel’s soundtrack is meant to evoke specific emotions, even if the only ones we’d feel when fighting to stay in the sky are sheer terror and adrenaline-fueled focus. Nevertheless, for those of you who find that music helps you, this one’s definitely got enough to have you adding at least a few tracks to your playlists outside of the cockpit.
This new peek at Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve is a good example of that “extra polish” the developers told us was a privilege the team had thanks to taking their time. We’re getting more optimistic about it with each passing glimpse, and we’re just eager to take to the skies when it releases for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S on October 2.
Until then, those attending Gamescom will have the chance to go hands-on with the flight combat sim alongside other Bandai Namco titles. Head here for more details.
