Ace Combat 7 announced for Nintendo Switch

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown is the latest entry in the long-running combat flight simulation series. First released 5 years ago now for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, the game has surprisingly been announced to be coming to the Nintendo Switch.

In an interesting move by Bandai Namco, Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown has been announced for the aging Nintendo Switch. Set to launch on the 11th of July 2024, this portable port has been dubbed the ‘Deluxe Edition’ as it includes a whole bunch of DLC such as new aircrafts, skins and more.

First released back in 2019, the 18th of January marks Ace Combat 7’s 5th anniversary, and so while this announcement came as a great surprise, its timing was not random.

Ace Combat 7 is the best-selling entry in the series, with most recent figures putting the game at 5 million copies sold. It will be interesting to see just how many additional units are shifted thanks to the upcoming Switch port.

With well over 100 million Switch consoles out there, Ace Combat 7 has the potential to double its total sales more than half a decade after its initial launch.
