Brandon Routh, whom you might know as the Arrowverse’s Doctor Atom, or even a short stint as Superman, or as a nasty character on The Rookie, also stars in the prequel. He’s joined by Tamlyn Tomita, whose portfolio includes The Good Doctor and Star Trek: Picard, in a story taking place in the early days of the Sotoan invasion of Usea. Things are tense all around; all three characters’ stories look they’ll be quite challenging over the four-episode run.

It’s streaming exclusively on IGN beginning September 15th and is a good way to get familiar with the Ace Combat universe if Wings of Theve is going to be your first. The latter is out on October 2nd for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC.
