Ace Combat 8 Hits 1 Million Copies, Band Live Footage Set For Late December
Project Aces is attaching a concert film to a sales milestone rather than a content drop, which keeps the series' music arm in front of players while details of the live itself stay unannounced.
Reporting from 1 source: Denfaminicogamer.
The Ace Combat series' official X account announced that ACE COMBAT 8: WINGS OF THEVE has passed 1 million cumulative copies worldwide in the fastest time in series history. To mark it, footage of the band live "LIVE MUSIC FEST. 2026," which performs music from the series, is scheduled to premiere in late December. Details will be announced later. The game is on sale for PC (Steam), PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
The Ace Combat series' official X account tied the milestone directly to a live event, saying footage of "LIVE MUSIC FEST. 2026" will be premiered in late December to mark the sales figure. No date inside December, venue, or setlist was given, and the post asked followers to wait for further news.
The game is set further ahead than the previous entry, in a world where next-generation unmanned aerial vehicles and giant fictional weapons have shifted the shape of the battlefield. It is on sale for PC (Steam), PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
