Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown gets a variety of pre-order options

Ace Combat 7 is (finally) almost upon us. In just a few short months, AC 7 will release on January 18, 2019 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One; and February 1, 2019 for PCs on Steam. PlayStation owners will get a special treat with the game (Bandai Namco is referring to is as “a cherry on top”) with the inclusion of exclusive PS VR missions. While it was once thought that the entire game would be playable in VR, we now know that only select missions will be VR compatible. But hey, with a game of this high quality, I’ll take whatever I can get.

In addition to clarifying the release date (the above trailer simply says 2018, which is...not right) and the VR missions, Bandai Namco also revealed pre-order incentives and detailed what will be included in the Season Pass and Deluxe Edition.

Pre-order incentives:

-    Everyone preordering ACE COMBAT 7 on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, or via STEAM® will receive the F4-E Phantom II along with additional three aircraft skins.
