infinity has reached a midpoint in my view, on the one hand the is unlikely to be many new aircraft models as they have now a fairly exhaustive set of aircraft to chose from, and as more resources are diverted to AC7 it will be far simpler to re skin the aircraft they have already. its worth noting that they are also possibly running out of legacy aircraft and features from previous AC games that they can bring in at this point, so we can probably expect new original skins and more cross series events. the is also a high demand for a continuation or extra missions added to the campaign, but considering again that resources at Project Aces are about to get much tighter, its unlikely we will see much more in that regard, the were some rumors that we are still waiting on one more emergency raid mission, but at this point i doubt we will get a end to the campaign. (if this means a better product in AC7 i can live with that.) we can however see infinity as a success story, its given bandi the confidence that the is still a high demand for a new AC game, its success is the main reason were getting a AC7! and even now it is bringing in a steady profit to warrant a demand for more content. its also notable that infinity is largely a multiplayer game, and for both Project Aces and Bandi a excellent way for them to collect and develop there skills in this area. remember how spartan and unpolished the game was a launch? it was the first time the team at PA had the chance to engage with the Ace combat players, as before they would release a ac game that might have multiplayer modes, but at that point their job was essentially finished and they would then get to work on the next game, Infinity is different, as it evolves they get a huge amount of costumer feedback and support and can continue to see what the fans and market want out of a game. this means that another year of support and content is a certainty, but once AC7 is launched and on the newer ps4 hardware, i will not be surprised to see the updates and content for ACI sharply drop off. at the end of the day we have always seen a free to play game model only really survives if the is steady updates for it.
