Why it matters
The reviews confirm demand for the 2006 game survived its release as a new title's bonus, but Bandai Namco says the expired license contracts on the real fighter jets mean it will not be sold on its own outside that bonus arrangement.
Key Facts
- The Steam version of ACE COMBAT ZERO: THE BELKAN WAR has 414 reviews, about 99% of them positive, for a Very Positive rating.
- ACE COMBAT ZERO: THE BELKAN WAR was released for the PS2 on March 23, 2006.
- Bandai Namco Entertainment said on ACE COMBAT 8 Information Bureau #5, broadcast September 28, that a general standalone sale will not be held later either.

The 2006 PS2 game was offered as a preorder bonus for ACE COMBAT 8: WINGS OF THEVE, then made available on October 13 as a standalone application on Steam after users complained they had to install AC8 to reach it.
Distribution stays limited to players who obtained ACE COMBAT 8 as the bonus. On the September 28 broadcast of the official program ACE COMBAT 8 Information Bureau #5, Bandai Namco Entertainment said a general standalone sale will not be held later either. The real-world fighter jets in the series appear under license from each company, and the contracts from that time have expired, so the development side cannot freely resell them.
Players select the game from the options shown when ACE COMBAT 8 starts, or now run it as a standalone application. The Steam version supports six languages, with Japanese voice, subtitles, and interface all included.
