It’s been almost 12 years since Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation, but come January 2019 Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown will bring players back to Strangereal at the start of a new war between the Kingdom of Erusea and Osean Federation. As Mage 2 (aka Trigger) in the IUN peacekeeping forces, it will be your job to counterattack after the Erusean opening airstrikes routed Osean forces on the Usean Continent. To make matters worse, Erusean Drone Fighters have stuck all major Osean military bases in Osea itself and have seized the International Space Elevator. Bandai Namco was kind enough to allow us to have some hands-on time with Ace Combat 7, but even with the three missions available to play, the story is still largely under wraps until launch day.

At PAX 2018, I was able to sit down with a few of these titles to see if there is some substance behind all of this hype.
Fans of MapleStory will be excited to hear that a new update will be coming soon to the West.

PAX West is just around the corner, and one of my favorite parts is seeing all of the indie games out on the show floor. The Indie MEGABOOTH in the PAX main hall is the place to see these brilliant developers showcase their stuff.
